A Variable Window Method with Three-Dimensional Disparity Space

Previous stereo methods doesn't deal effectively with depth discontinuity due to inevitable window-based problems, and so give inaccurate and noisy matching results in areas with steep disparity variations. In this paper. a variable window approach is presented to estimate accurate, detailed and smooth disparities with three-dimensional disparity space. It makes the smoothing of depth discontinuity reduced by evaluating corresponding correlation values and intensity gradient-based similarity in the space. In addition, it devises the novel arbitrarily-shaped variable window to treat with disparity variations of various structure shapes. We show how our results improve on those of closely related techniques for accuracy, robustness. matching density and computing speed.
