A new technique to extract range information from stereo images

Rigid and non-rigid 3D motion estimation from multiview image sequences

“…A direct way of inferring the depth information is provided by stereo and multi-ocular vision [4,5]. Stereoscopic, or in general multiview video, can provide more vivid and accurate information about the scene structure than simple video.…”

Disparity field and depth map coding for multiview 3D image generation

“…Stereo vision [4,23] provides a direct way of inferring the depth information by using two images (stereo pair) destined for the left and right eye, respectively. More than two images are used in multiview systems where a number of views of a scene from di erent viewpoints are provided.…”

A moment-preserving approach for depth from defocus

“…Therefore, eq. (2) shows that the defocus is an unique indicator of depth . The depth formula of eq.…”

“…Various methods for depth measurement have been proposed [1]. Stereo vision [2,3] is perhaps the most popular technique to obtain the depth image of a 3-D object. It generally uses two cameras to estimate stereo disparity and then recovers the 3-D structure of an object.…”
