Abstract

Achieving an accurate disparity map in a reasonable processing time is a real challenge in the stereovision field. For this purpose, we propose in this paper an original approach which aims to accelerate matching time while keeping a very good matching accuracy. The proposed method allows us to shift from a dense to a sparse disparity map. Firstly, we have computed scores for all pairs of pixels using a new dissimilarity function recently developed. Then, by applying a confidence measure on each pair of pixels, we keep only couples of pixels having a high confidence measure which is computed relying on a set of new local parameters.
