Abstract

Fast and efficient disparity estimation (DE) is a key technology in stereoscopic image sequence processing. On the basis of analyzing the correlation between disparity vectors and motion vectors, a new fast disparity estimation algorithm for stereo video coding is presented in this paper. Experimental results show that, compared with the full search algorithm, the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce DE complexity while the reconstructed image quality is quite close to that of full search method.
