Abstract
Visual correspondence is the key for 3D reconstruction in binocular
stereovision. Local methods perform block-matching to compute the
disparity, or apparent motion, of pixels between images. The simplest
approach computes the distance of patches, usually square windows, and
assumes that all pixels in the patch have the same disparity. A
prominent artifact of the method is the "foreground fattening effet"
near depth discontinuities. In order to find a more appropriate support,
Yoon and Kweon introduced the use of weights based on color similarity
and spatial distance, analogous to those used in the bilateral filter.
This paper presents the theory of this method and the implementation we
have developed. Moreover, some variants are discussed and improvements
are used in the final implementation. Several examples and tests are
presented and the parameters and performance of the method are analyzed.
