Abstract

The performance evaluation of a new approach to efficient disparity map computation for stereo vision is presented. Using Bayesian particle filtering to focus computationalexpenditure on image regions of primary importanceto a navigational task allows the robust computationof a depth map sufficiently dense for most navigationaltasks, while minimizing the computational load,and thus the resources, required. We show that a particle-guidedapproach allows the efficient construction of asparse disparity map which intelligently samples navigationallyrelevant scene information allowing real-timestereo computation on commodity hardware suitable fornavigational tasks.
