Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose an effective local stereo matching method based on extended triangular interpolation. The whole image is covered with a triangular mesh by performing triangulation on a set of initial support points. Since the disparity interpolation in some areas is ineffective, especially in the triangle which appears across the boundaries of objects or is formed by initial matching outliers, we formulate a new matching model based on the Bayesian rule to address this challenge. In the model, we introduce the concept of the triangle's reliability, and utilize the disparity planes determined by the neighboring triangles as the Bayesian prior. With the model, the disparity interpolation can be effectively performed. Experiments on the standard stereo data sets show that the method is effective, especially in dealing with the boundaries of objects.
