Abstract
The conception and improvement of algorithms for subpixel stereovision 
requires very precise test databases. The state of the art on the sets 
of images used extensively by the scientific community shows that they 
are often incomplete and imprecise compared to the dataset goals. We 
will present a method based on image synthesis to produce stereoscopic 
pairs with ground truths such as disparity and occlusion maps reaching 
an accuracy of about 1e-6 pixels. The a priori noise estimate is also 
taken into account. This process allows us to deliver a new image 
database consisting of 66 stereo pairs together with their ground truths.
