Segment-Based Stereo Matching Using Energy-Based Regularization

Stereo depth estimation using synchronous optimization with segment based regularization

“…Alternatively, image driven regularizers were used to align depth discontinuities along edges and inhibit smoothing across edges (Alvarez et al, 2002;Kim et al, 2004). Min et al (2006) employed the image segments to perform anisotropic smoothing at the segment boundaries depending on the magnitude of image gradients. The problem with image driven regularizers is that they have to work with over-segmented images when the images are highly textured.…”
