Abstract
Provided is a device for improving stereo matching results. The device for improving stereo matching results includes: a stereo camera unit outputting binocular disparity images by using binocular disparity between two images preprocessed according to a plurality of preprocessing conditions; a discrete cosine transform (DCT) unit generating DCT coefficients by performing DCT on the binocular disparity images; a streak estimation unit receiving the DCT coefficients and estimating amounts of streaks distributed on a screen by using AC coefficients, including streak patterns, of the DCT coefficients; a condition estimation unit estimating a preprocessing condition, corresponding to the smallest amount of streaks of the estimated amounts of streaks, of the plurality of preprocessing conditions, as an optimal condition, and a streak removal unit generating binocular disparity images without the streaks by changing predetermined AC coefficients of the DCT coefficients and performing inverse DCT on the changed DCT coefficients.
