Efficient local stereo matching algorithm based on fast gradient domain guided image filtering

作者:

Highlights:

• By incorporating a multi-scale edge-aware weighting and sub-sampling strategy into GIF, a novel fast gradient domain guided image filter (F-GDGIF) is proposed, which achieves better edge-aware performance with a faster execution time.

• The proposed F-GDGIF is employed in cost aggregation. Due to its advantages of edge preserved smoothing property and low computational complexity, F-GDGIF based cost aggregation method achieves better performance compared to other GIF based methods.

• Apart from cost aggregation, F-GDGIF is also adopted in disparity refinement and achieved better results compared to GIF based method.
