چکیده

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 regularization allows inter-segment diffusion at the beginning of the optimizations to be robust against local minima. When the two optimizations start producing similar disparity maps, our regularization prevents inter-segment diffusion to recover the depth discontinuities. Our experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm can handle sharp discontinuities well and provides disparity maps with accuracy comparable to the state of the art stereo methods. 2010 Elsevier B.V.

A Global Optimization Approach to High-detail Reconstruction of the Head

The paper presents an approach for reconstructing head-and-shoulder portraits of people from calibrated stereo images with a high level of geometric detail. In contrast to many existing systems, our reconstructions cover the full head, including hair. This is achieved using a global intensity-based optimization approach which is stated as a parametric warp estimation problem and solved in a rob...

Depth Estimation Through a Disparity-Based Photometric Stereo

Abstract. Here we revisit a recently introduced process of relative depth estimation through the matching of photometric stereo images. By considering the general solution of the differential equation which relates surface depth to the disparity map produced by the matching process, we are able to obtain a more consistent formulation of such disparity-based approach to photometric stereo. Also,...

Efficient Joint Segmentation, Occlusion Labeling, Stereo and Flow Estimation

In this paper we propose a slanted plane model for jointly recovering an image segmentation, a dense depth estimate as well as boundary labels (such as occlusion boundaries) from a static scene given two frames of a stereo pair captured from a moving vehicle. Towards this goal we propose a new optimization algorithm for our SLIC-like objective which preserves connecteness of image segments and ...

Combining Monocular Geometric Cues with Traditional Stereo Cues for Consumer Camera Stereo

This paper presents a framework for considering both stereo cues and structural priors to obtain a geometrically representative depth map from a narrow baseline stereo pair. We use stereo pairs captured with a consumer stereo camera and observe that traditional depth estimation using stereo matching techniques encounters difficulties related to the narrow baseline relative to the depth of the s...
