Abstract

A traditional solution of area-based stereo uses some kind of windowed pixel intensity correlation. This approach suffers from discretization artifacts which corrupt the correlation value. We introduce a new correlation statistic, which is completely invariant to image sampling, moreover it naturally provides a position of the correlation maximum between pixels. Hereby we can obtain sub-pixel disparity directly from sampling invariant and highly discriminable measurements without any postprocessing of the discrete disparity map. The key idea behind is to represent the image point neighbourhood in a different way, as a response to a bank of Gabor filters. The images are convolved with the filter bank and the complex correlation statistic (CCS) is evaluated from the responses without iterations.
