This paper addresses the problem of correspondence selection in stereo vision using the mutual information (MI) measure. MI is an information theoretic topic that has recently seen a prolific expansion in the computer vision and medical imaging field. Two main issues are considered in this paper. Firstly, a new stereo matching algorithm is presented that uses a histogram-based formulation of mu...

The ability to obtain the accurate three-dimensional position information in the presence of limited sensor resolution is a crucial task in computer vision and other triangulation systems. Sensors for computer processing applications produce sampled quantized data, whose spatial resolution is determined by limits in device technology and bandwidth. In computer vision and photogrammetry, normall...

Stereoscopic photography has a long history which started just few years after the first known photo was taken: 1849 Sir David Brewster introduced binocular camera. Whereas mobile is omnipresent because of wide distribution smart phones, stereoscopic only used by very small set enthusiasts or professional (stereo) photographers. One important aspect that required technology usually quite expens...

It is often desirable or unavoidable to display Virtual Reality (VR) stereoscopic content at low brightness. For example, a dimmer reduces the flicker artefacts that are introduced by low-persistence VR headsets. also saves power, prolongs battery life, and cost of projection system. Additionally, stereo movies usually displayed relatively luminance due polarization filters other optical elemen...

Dense stereo is a well studied problem in computer vision. Generally dense stereo algorithms provide only a single estimate of disparity, ignoring uncertainty in the disparity map. Here however, we present a new, linear-time, exact method for recovering entire distributions for disparity at all pixels. This is accomplished by using a recent extension, due to Durbin et al., of the well-known for...

Assessment of age and size structure of marine populations is often used to detect and determine the effect of natural and anthropogenic factors, such as commercial fishing, upon marine communities. A primary tool in the characterisation of population structure is the distribution of the lengths or biomass of a large sample of individual specimens of a particular species. Rather than use relati...
