Abstract

In this paper, we present a linear method that incorporates information from neighboring pixels for sub-pixel matching. Two algorithms are presented. Both rely on a rough initial estimate of the disparity. The first one is optimized for pairs of images requiring negligible window deformation. The second method is slower but more general and more precise. It is applicable for large window deformation and eliminates false initial matches using robust estimation of the local affine window transformation. The first algorithm attains a precision of 0.05 pixels for interest points and 0.06 for random points in the translational case. For general case, if the deformation is small, the second method gives an accuracy of 0.05 pixels; while for large deformation, it gives an accuracy of about 0.06 pixels for points of interest and 0.10 pixels for random points.
