A New Method on Super Pixel Reducing Stereo Matching Time of Integrated Imaging.

Stereo vision and 3D reconstruction technologies are increasingly concerned in many fields. Stereo matching algorithm is the core of stereo vision and also a technical difficulty. A novel method based on super pixels is mentioned in this paper to reduce the calculating amount and the time. Stereo images from University of Tsukuba are used to test our method. The proposed method spends only 1% of the time spent by the conventional method. Through a two-step super-pixel matching optimization, it takes 6.72 s to match a picture, which is 12.96% of the pre-optimization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
