Depth Estimation from Stereoscopic Image Pairs Assuming Piecewise Continuos Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
An algorithm for estimating reliable and accurate depth maps from stereoscopic image pairs is presented, which is based on block–matching techniques for disparity estimation. By taking neighboring disparity values into account, reliability and accuracy of the estimated disparity values are increased and the corona effect at disparity discontinuities is avoided. An interpolation of disparity values within segmented regions of homogeneous disparity enables the computation of dense depth maps by means of triangulation.

متن کاملInclusion of Magnitude Information for Improved Phase-Based Disparity Estimation in Stereoscopic Image Pairs
Estimating depth information from two-dimensional stereoscopic image pairs is an important task in image processing. The disparity, i.e. the displacement of corresponding pixels in the image pair, can be estimated directly from local image phase in the fourier domain. In this paper a combined FFTbased approach for disparity estimation is proposed, where additional magnitude information is inclu...
