You're probably better off with an XBox Kinect than stereo images. The paper you reference still requires a sequence of images to be captured, it's pretty similar to photogrammetry but uses the stereo depth maps to help resolve the depth.
How cheap do you want the geometry? You could easily use the disparity map to generate a depth from the camera and use motion to determine if a sample should be considered or not. But it's not going to be pretty.
