We present a method for extracting depth information from a rectified image pair. Our
approach focuses on the first stage of many stereo algorithms: the matching cost …

We explore the problem of real-time stereo matching on high-res imagery. Many state-of-the-
art (SOTA) methods struggle to process high-res imagery because of memory constraints or …

Shallow depth-of-field is commonly used by photographers to isolate a subject from a
distracting background. However, standard cell phone cameras cannot produce such …

Stereo techniques have witnessed tremendous progress over the last decades, yet some
aspects of the problem still remain challenging today. Striking examples are reflecting and …

In this article we develop an image based rendering technique based on light field
reconstruction from a limited set of perspective views acquired by cameras. Our approach …

Various 3D reconstruction methods have enabled civil engineers to detect damage on a
road surface. To achieve the millimeter accuracy required for road condition assessment, a …

Given a stereo pair it is possible to recover a depth map and use that depth to render a
synthetically defocused image. Though stereo algorithms are well-studied, rarely are those …

Semi-global matching (SGM) is among the top-ranked stereovision algorithms. SGM is an
efficient strategy for approximately minimizing a global energy that comprises a pixel-wise …

The stereo matching algorithm is one of the important methods for 3D surface reconstruction.
A stereo matching process produces a disparity map which provides the depth of information …

Stereo matching process is a difficult and challenging task due to many uncontrollable
factors that affect the results. These factors include the radiometric variations and …
