Abstract

The paper addresses the ubiquitous problem of matching of colour images. Colour plays very important role in human visual system and the question arises how it can influence image matching in case of a computer based vision systems. In this paper the area based matching methods are investigated. Several matching cost functions and different colour spaces (RGB, HSI, YCrCb) are examined. Obtained results for colour are compared with monochromatic methods. Quality of dense disparity maps was verified in two ways: by number of points rejected after cross-checking and by PSNR value between original reference image and its reconstruction from the second reference and disparity map. The main objective of this research is to verify benefits and drawbacks of using colour information for matching versus inevitable costs associated with processing of greater amounts of data.
