ABSTRACTLocal depth variation is a distinctive property of natural scenes and its effects on perception have only recently begun to be investigated. Here, we demonstrate how natural depth variation impacts performance in two fundamental tasks related to stereopsis: half-occlusion detection and disparity detection. We report the results of a computational study that uses a large database of calibrated natural stereo-images with precisely co-registered laser-based distance measurements. First, we develop a procedure for precisely sampling stereo-image patches from the stereo-images, based on the distance measurements. The local depth variation in each stereo-image patch is quantified by disparity contrast. Next, we show that increased disparity contrast degrades performance in half-occlusion detection and disparity detection tasks, and changes the size and shape of the optimal spatial integration areas (“receptive fields”) for computing the task-relevant decision variables. Then, we show that a simple binocular image statistic predicts disparity contrast in natural scenes. Finally, we report results on the most likely patterns of disparity variation in natural scenes. Our findings motivate computational and psychophysical investigations of the mechanisms that underlie disparity estimation in local regions of natural scenes.

This paper proposes a new edge based stereo matching approach for road applications. The new approach consists in matching the edge points extracted from the input stereo images using temporal constraints. At the current frame, we propose to estimate a disparity range for each image line based on the disparity map of its preceding one. The stereo images are divided into multiple parts according to the estimated disparity ranges. The optimal solution of each part is independently approximated via the state-of-the-art energy minimization approach Graph cuts. The disparity search space at each image part is very small compared to the global one, which improves the results and reduces the execution time. Furthermore, as a similarity criterion between corresponding edge points, we propose a new cost function based on the intensity, the gradient magnitude and gradient orientation. The proposed method has been tested on virtual stereo images, and it has been compared to a recently proposed method and the results are satisfactory.
