Improved Disparity Estimation by Matching with an Adaptive Window
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel technique for disparity estimation based on block matching with a local adaptive window is introduced in this paper. In the proposed approach the size and shape of the reference window is calculated adaptively according to the degree of reliability of disparities estimated previously and the local variation of the disparity map. The performance of the method has been verified by computer simulations using synthetic data and several natural stereo sequences. Considerable improvements were obtained just in object borders or image areas that become occluded.

متن کاملImproved Adaptive-Support Stereo Matching Using Local Features
Stereo matching is a process of estimating the disparity for every pixel in a pair of stereo images. Among the various stereo-matching algorithms, the adaptive supportweight (ASW) approach is the most representative local method that determines the disparity by using statistical correlation within a local support window. In the ASW approach, the degree of correspondence between two pixels withi...
متن کاملFast Dense Stereo Matching Using Adaptive Window in Hierarchical Framework
A new area-based stereo matching in hierarchical framework is proposed. Local methods generally measure the similarity between the image pixels using local support window. An appropriate support window, where the pixels have similar disparity, should be selected adaptively for each pixel. Our algorithm consists of the following two steps. In the first step, given an estimated initial disparity ...
