Abstract
Systems and methods for stereo matching based upon active illumination using a patch in a non-actively illuminated image to obtain weights that are used in patch similarity determinations in actively illuminated stereo images is provided. To correlate pixels in actively illuminated stereo images, adaptive support weights computations are used to determine similarity of patches corresponding to the pixels. In order to obtain adaptive support weights for the adaptive support weights computations, weights are obtained by processing a non-actively illuminated ('clean') image.
