Torr, Philip}, title = {Dense stereo using pivoted dynamic programming}, year = {2004}, month = {September}, abstract = {Abstract This paper describes an improvement to the dynamic programming approach for dense stereo. Traditionally dense stereo algorithms proceed independently for each pair of epipolar lines, and then a further step is used to smooth the estimated disparities between the epipolar lines. This typically results in a streaky disparity map along depth discontinuities. In order to overcome this problem the information from corner and edge matching algorithms are exploited. Indeed we present a unified dynamic programming/statistical framework that allows the incorporation of any partial knowledge about disparities, such as matched features and known surfaces within the scene. The result is a fully automatic dense stereo system with a faster run time and greater accuracy than the standard dynamic programming method.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/dense-stereo-using-pivoted-dynamic-programming-4/}, pages = {795-806}, journal = {Image and Vision Computing}, volume = {22}, number = {10}, }
