Stereo matching for Fish-eye images based on epipolar geometry and support neighborhood
A stereo matching algorithm based on epipolar geometry and support neighborhood was proposed to solve the problems of epipolar curve and matching cost calculation caused by image distortion in fisheye stereo system. Firstly
a fisheye camera was calibrated to obtain its relevant parameters. For the lens distortion of a fisheye lens
the epipolar curves of the system were derived according to the projection model of fisheye lens
and these epipolar curves were used to define searching scope when searching for corresponding points. Then
according to the position relationship between homologous points on the left and right images
the support neighborhood of each pixel was determined
the corresponding support neighborhood in other image was calculated in different parallaxes and the local matching cost was calculated based on support neighborhoods. Finally
matching results were obtained by using the Winner Takes All(WTA) strategy. The epipolar geometry and support neighborhood were used to perform a matching experiment and a comparison experiment for two groups of fisheye images. Experimental results show that the matching accuracies of the two groups are increased by 4.03% and 4.64% respectively as compared to traditional methods. It concludes that the epipolar curves speed up the matching speed and reduce the error; the accuracy rate of matching cost calculation by proposed support neighborhood is also superior to that of the traditional matching for the fisheye lens. This method meets the requirements of stereo matching of fisheye images for capturing speeds
