Stereo Matching

Abstract

This chapter discusses the search for corresponding pixels in a pair of stereo images. We consider at first correspondence search as a labelling problem, defined by data and smoothness error functions, but also by the applied control structure. We describe belief-propagation stereo and semi-global matching. Finally we also discuss how to evaluate the accuracy of stereo-matching results on real-world input data, particularly on stereo video data.
