Abstract

Current stereo algorithms are capable to calculate accurate (as defined, e.g., by needs in vision-based driver assistance) dense disparity maps in real time. They have become the source of three-dimensional data for several indoor and outdoor applications. However, ground truthbased evaluation of such algorithms has been typically limited to data sets generated indoors in laboratories. In this paper we present a new approach to evaluate stereo algorithms using ground-truth over real world data sets. Ground truth is generated using range measurements acquired with a high-end laser range-finder. For evaluating as many points as possible in a given disparity map, we use two evaluation approaches: A direct comparison for those pixels with available range data, and a confidence measure for the remaining pixels.
