[Image Processing] Adaptive Weights based Dense Stereo

Support-Weight based on Grouping


 1) Gestalt grouping in stereopsis 

   - Figure-ground discrimination

   - Marr’s stages of visual processing


 2) Support-weight based on grouping

   - Support-weight is in proportion to the strength of grouping.

   - Main gestalt grouping laws: similarity, proximity

 

 

Support-Weight Computation


 1) Grouping  by similarity

 

Support-Weight Computation


 2) Grouping by proximity

 

 

Dissimilarity Computation (Matching cost)

 Using the support-weights in both support windows

   - Symmetric measure

   - Suppressing the effect of outliers
