Abstract

A method links edges in stereo images into chains which correspond to physical contours in a scene. First, edges are detected in the stereo images. Edges between the stereo images are matched, such that each edge has associated stereo matches. The edges are linked into chains, such that each chained edge has a single associated stereo match, and neighboring edges in a chain have matches with a substantial similar stereo disparity.
