Fast Stereo Matching Using Rectification and Correlation Techniques

F This paper presents a new method for matching points of interest in stereoscopic. A self-calibration is realized by using points of interest on both images in order to estimate the fundamental matrix from which we can compute both projected matrices related to each camera. We propose a robust and fast rectification technique for matching points of interest in order to simplify the research on epipolar line. Resemblance measure based on ZNCC (Zero mean Normalized Cross Correlation). Our matching scheme is evaluated using stereo images consisting of many points, with regularization using homography and fundamental matrix. The results obtained clearly show the relevance of our approach. KeywordsF Self-calibration, Rectification, Correlation, Fast Matching, Homography and Fundamental Matrix
