A computationally efficient pyramid adaptive algorithm based on Fourier local phase matching is proposed to compute precise depth estimates for motion stereo. In general, the motion stereo uses intensity value as the matching primitive. To decrease the computational depth error, when the brightness of each moving picture is highly variable, we developed a method for motion stereo using the phase of Gabor filters instead of intensity. To implement the motion stereo more efficiently, a hierarchical method is also used, consisting of pyramidal data sequences. We present the experimental results demonstrating that our method gives more accurate depth estimates than the motion stereo algorithm based on intensity matching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
