Proposal of PDSV Method Estimating Shape of Corresponding Region on Right and Left Images

Abstract

A novel method called PDSV, realizing 3-D measurement over a wide range than the original DSV is proposed. The method includes estimation of inclination at the measured point, that of the shape deformation of corresponding region in stereo images and that of variance of error for each variable (intensity change, depth and inclination). As the result of shape reconstruction by using self-estimators, more reliable data can be obtained.
