Abstract
In computer vision, the extraction of dense and accurate disparity maps is a computationally expensive and challenging problem, and high quality results typically require from several seconds to several minutes to be obtained. In this paper, we present a new post-processing technique, which detects the incorrect reconstructed pixels after the initial matching process and replaces them with correct disparity values. Experimental results with Middlebury data sets show that our approach can process images of up to 3MPixels in less than 3.3 msec, producing at the same time semi-dense (up to 99%) and accurate (up to 94%) disparity maps. We also propose a way to adaptively change, in real time, the density and the accuracy of the extracted disparity maps. In addition, the matching and post-processing procedures are calculated without using any multiplication, which makes the algorithm very fast, while its reduced complexity simplifies its implementation. Finally, we present the hardware implementation of the proposed algorithm.
