Stereo correspondence using segment connectivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method to search for stereo correspondence based on the connectivity of segments. The data structure is defined by boundary representation. The free curve can be treated by this data structure not as a straight line approximation, but as a curved line. Some candidates for correspondence pairs consist of two segments in left and right images under epipolar condition. The connectivity of two pairs is decided by their distance, intensity, and angle, based on each boundary in the left image. The similarity of paths, which are sequences of pairs, is evaluated. The main feature of our method is that it can evaluate in general situations because the similarity is calculated based on the connectivity of pairs. Multiple correspondence between pairs is removed using this similarity, and the 3D structure is reconstructed. Applications of our work include recognition for free form objects and tracking in 3D space.

An Efficient Matching Algorithm for Segment-Based Stereo Vision Using Dynamic Programming Technique
An efficient matching method for segment-based stereo vision is proposed. A potential matching graph which describes the connectivity between candidate matching pairs of segments is built. Establishing correspondence is then reduced to a problem of searching for the optimal path that maximizes a similarity measure. The optimal path is found efficiently without the adverse effects of combinatori...
متن کاملIntensity Calibration for Stereo Images Based on Segment Correspondence
It is necessary to calibrate the intensity between stereo images correctly to find their correct correspondence when using a correlation method. The authors propose a method of automatically calibrating the intensity from the image data, using segment-based correspondence results, which are robust against changes in intensity. The effects of this method are explained through experiments.
متن کاملStereo Correspondence Through Feature Grouping and Maximal Cliques
In this paper we propose a method to solve the stereo correspondence problem. The method matches features and feature relationships and can be paraphrased as follows. Linear edge segments are extracted from both the left and right images. Each such segment is characterized by its position and orientation in the image as well as its relationships with the nearby segments. A relational graph is t...

متن کاملStereo depth estimation using synchronous optimization with segment based regularization
Stereo correspondence is inherently an ill-posed problem, which is addressed by regularization methods. This paper introduces a novel stereo correspondence method that uses two synchronous interdependent optimizations. The regularization of the correspondence problem is done adaptively by considering the image segments and the intermediate disparity maps of the two optimizations. Our adaptive r...
