Stereo matching is a significant subject in the stereo vision algorithm. Traditional taxonomy composition consists of several issues in the stereo correspondences process such as radiometric distortion, discontinuity, and low accuracy at the low texture regions. This new taxonomy improves the local method of stereo matching algorithm based on the dynamic cost computation for disparity map measurement. This method utilised modified dynamic cost computation in the matching cost stage. A modified Census Transform with dynamic histogram is used to provide the cost volume. An adaptive bilateral filtering is applied to retain the image depth and edge information in the cost aggregation stage. A Winner Takes All (WTA) optimisation is applied in the disparity selection and a left-right check with an adaptive bilateral median filtering are employed for final refinement. Based on the dataset of standard Middlebury, the taxonomy has better accuracy and outperformed several other state-ofthe-art algorithms. Keywords—Stereo matching, disparity map, dynamic cost, census transform, local method

This paper proposes a FPGA implementation to apply a stereo matching algorithm based on a kind of sparse census transform in a FPGA chip which can provide a high-definition dense disparity map in real-time. The parallel stereo matching algorithm core involves census transform, cost calculation and cost aggregation modules. The circuits of the algorithm core are modeled by the Matlab/Simulink-based tool box: DSP Builder. The system can process many different sizes of stereo pair images through a configuration interface. The maximum horizon resolution of stereo images is 2048.

Aiming at the problem that stereo matching accuracy is easily affected by noise and amplitude distortion, a stereo matching algorithm based on HSV color space and improved census transform is proposed. In the cost calculation stage, the color image is first converted from RGB space to HSV space; moreover, the hue channel is used as the matching primitive to establish the hue absolute difference (HAD) cost calculation function, which reduces the amount of calculation and enhances the robustness of matching. Then, to solve the problem of the traditional census transform overrelying on the central pixel and to improve the noise resistance of the algorithm, an improved census method based on neighborhood weighting is also proposed. Finally, the HAD cost and the improved census cost are nonlinearly fused as the initial cost. In the aggregation stage, an outlier elimination method based on confidence interval is proposed. By calculating the confidence interval of the aggregation window, this paper eliminates the cost value that is not in the confidence interval and subsequently filters as well as aggregates the remaining costs to further reduce the noise interference and improve the matching accuracy. Experiments show that the proposed method can not only effectively suppress the influence of noise, but also achieve a more robust matching effect in scenes with changing exposure and lighting conditions.
