Compressing Stereo Images Using a Reference Image and the Exhaustive Block Matching Algorithm to Estimate Disparity between the Two Images
نویسنده
چکیده
One method to compress a pair of stereo images is to compress the first image independently and then compress the second image by estimating the disparity between the two images. The first image was transformed using 2-D Discrete Cosine Transform, quantized using the JPEG quantization matrix and finally encoded into a bitstream using arithmetic encoding. The disparity between the two images was estimated by the Exhaustive Block Matching Algorithm (EBMA) and the resulting disparity vector was then encoded into a bitstream. The images were then decoded and were compared with the original images.

Optimizing Disparity Candidates Space in Dense Stereo Matching
In this paper, a new approach for optimizing disparity candidates space is proposed for the solution of dense stereo matching problem. The main objectives of this approachare the reduction of average number of disparity candidates per pixel with low computational cost and high assurance of retaining the correct answer. These can be realized due to the effective use of multiple radial windows, i...
