Fig. 1.24 Mismatches in the marked area produced by different stereo methods. Light grey points :
correct disparities; dark grey points : incorrect disparities. The three-dimensional points are shown
in disparity space, where u and v are the image coordinates of a pixel in the right image and
d denotes the associated disparity value. ( a ) Right image of a stereo pair, area with repetitive
structures marked in light grey .( b ) Feature-based method (spacetime stereo algorithm; Schmidt et
al., 2007 ). ( c ) Intensity-based method (blockmatching stereo algorithm; Horn, 1986 ). ( d ) Global
method (semi-global matching algorithm; Hirschmüller, 2005 )
model pose is used to perform a refined correspondence analysis. This analysis is
governed by a cost function which takes into account the distances of the three-
dimensional points from the model.
In this section, the stereo approach introduced by Schmidt et al. ( 2007 ) based on
spatio-temporal local intensity modelling (cf. Sect. 1.5.2.5 ) is used, where different
stereo constraints can be taken into account to find the correct matches. A com-
parison of the results of the well-known uniqueness (Marr and Poggio, 1979 ) and
ordering constraints (Baker and Binford, 1981 ) (cf. Sect. 1.5.2 ) is performed. Fur-
thermore, a model-based stereo method similar to the approach by Tonko and Nagel
( 2000 ) is regarded for comparison. It uses the model surface and the pose parame-
ters to obtain the homographies that determine corresponding image points in both
images. Image windows of predefined size around a given number of points in one
stereo image are reprojected into the other image based on these homographies in-
duced by the model surface. The similarities between corresponding image windows
are maximised by variation of the pose parameters.
