Stereo matching with asymmetric occlusion handling in weighted least square framework
This paper presents a novel method for stereo matching with occlusion handling. In order to estimate optimal cost, we define an energy function and solve the iterative equation with the numerical method. We improve performance and convergence rate by using several acceleration techniques. The proposed method is computationally efficient since it does not use color segmentation or any global optimization techniques. For occlusion handling, which has not been performed effectively by any conventional cost aggregation approaches, we combine the occlusion problem with the proposed minimization scheme. Asymmetric information is used so that few additional computational loads are necessary. Experimental results show that performance is comparable to that of many state-of-the-art methods.
