Stereo Matching Using Analog Neural Network

Stereo vision is useful in obtaining three dimensional depth information from two images taken from different view points. Neural network modeling for stereo matching, the key step in stereo vision, is defined by an energy function satisfying with three constraints proposed by Marr and Poggio. Stereo matching is then carried out through the network to find minimum energy corresponding to the optimized solution of the problem. An algorithm for stereo matching using an analog neural network is presented here. The network can reduce errors in initial state an early iteration steps by adoption of continuous sigmoid function in stead of binary state. The experimental results show good matching performance for sparse random dot stereogram and real image.
