Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm to solve the problem of dense disparity map estimation in stereo-vision. Our method is an iterative process inspired by variationnal approach. A new criteria is used as the attachment term based on the distance to local minimum of a similarity measure. Our iterative process is heuristic. Nevertheless, we are able to interpret this algorithm presenting both combinatorial and continuous characteristics. The quality and precision of the results obtained by our method both on image benchmarks and real data clearly demonstrate the the validity of this approach.
