Depth extraction method based on binocular stereo matching

A method of stereo matching based on binocular vision system is proposed in this paper. First, the paper adopts RAC camera calibration method rectified input images. Then, in the stereo matching section, we adopt Segment-Based stereo matching algorithm. There are four major steps of the proposed algorithm, namely, color segmentation, local matching in pixel domain, the disparity plane estimation and disparity plane assignment. Experimental results demonstrated that satisfactory results can be computed efficiently by the proposed method, it also can provide good foundation for 3D reconstruction.
