Dense Disparity Map Estimation Using CUMULANTS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new efficient stereo algorithm addressing robust disparity estimation in the presence of the noises. Originality of this method is a dense disparity map estimation using the dynamic programming constrained by interest points and using Higher Order Statistics (HOS) (Cumulant) criteria for matching noisy images. Hierarchical scheme is used to ameliorate HOS-based correlation method. Experiments with both synthetic and noisy real images have validated our method and have clearly shown the improvement over the existing ones. The dense disparity map obtained is more reliable when compared to the similar Second-Order Statistics (SOS) based dynamic programming and HOS based correlation methods.

متن کاملBlock-Wise MAP Disparity Estimation for Intermediate View Reconstruction
A dense disparity map is required in the application of intermediate view reconstruction from stereoscopic images. A popular approach to obtaining a dense disparity map is maximum a-posteriori (MAP) disparity estimation. The MAP approach requires statistical models for modeling both a likelihood term and an a-priori term. Normally, a Gaussian model is used. In this contribution, block-wise MAP ...
