Trinocular Cooperative Stereo Vision and Occlusion Detection

In this paper, we present a cooperative stereo vision algorithm with three cameras for dense disparity mapping and occlusion detection. Based on nonlinear iteration and multiple cameras, the disparity maps are smooth and the object boundaries are accurate. Occlusions for each stereo pair are detected effectively by examining the iterative inhibition and magnification of the matching evaluation.
