  • Disparity computation method through stereo matching based on census transform with adaptive support weight and system thereof
    Patent number: 9786063
    Abstract: Provided is a method of computing precise disparity using a stereo matching method based on developed census transform with an adaptive support weight method in area based stereo matching. The method includes a step of setting an adaptive support weight window centered on a specific point of a left image and setting adaptive support weight windows with the same size with respect to one point positioned within a maximum disparity prediction value about a specific point of the left image in a right image.
    Type: Grant

  • System for real-time stereo matching
    Patent number: 9014463
    Abstract: A system for real-time stereo matching is provided, which provides improved stereo matching speed and rate by gradually optimizing a disparity range used in the stereo matching based on the stereo matching result of the previous frame image and thus reducing unnecessary matching computations.
