Correlation (Template Matching) Choosing Template size (from left image) –dependant on feature size
Correlation (cont.) Mean squared error of each channel Determining the “best” match from the correlation
Image Preprocessing Resizing images to reduce the number of calculations Candidate pixels in left image –Hand picked pixels –Edges from left image –Every pixel
Stereopsis Correspondences + stereo geometry => depth => rendering from other locations
Results
Ideas for Future Work Improve correlation quality metric Resolution pyramid for image: –start at low res when featureless surfaces are smaller Resolution pyramid for pattern Inter-register several stereo pairs
