Abstract

A method of matching stereo images includes: determining, first information indicating which orientations are dominant in each pixel location of a right image and a left image among the stereo images; determining second information indicating for each pixel location in the right image and the left image whether it lies on a pure horizontal edge; detecting points in the left image and the right image based on the first information and the second information; and performing a matching on the left image and the right image using the detected points to estimate a sparse disparity map.
