Disparity map algorithm for stereo matching process using local based method
The aim of Stereo Vision Disparity Map (SVDM) algorithm is to obtain the disparity map from two images. These input images have different viewpoints that corresponds with each other, forming a two-dimensional mapping of matching pixels and is known as disparity map. The SVDM algorithm can be categor...

The aim of Stereo Vision Disparity Map (SVDM) algorithm is to obtain the disparity map from two images. These input images have different viewpoints that corresponds with each other, forming a two-dimensional mapping of matching pixels and is known as disparity map. The SVDM algorithm can be categorized into local, semi global and global methods. Global method performs a matching process using global energy or a probability function over the whole image. This method involves high computational complexity and slow implementation. Therefore, it is not suitable for real-time applications. However, local method solves the matching problem via a local analysis and aggregating matching costs over a support region at each pixel in the images. The local method delivers fast execution and low computational requirement. Semi global method is the combination of both methods which make this method is more complex.
