Stereo Algorithm with Anisotropic Reaction-Diffusion Systems

The computer vision research aims at a better understanding of the human visual system and building artificial visual systems. Vision researchers in psychology and physiology have explored biological visual systems including the human vision, and obtained much knowledge on nature and architecture of their visual information processing. For example, some of previous results in experimental psychology suggested integration of several visual cues [1–3], and others of them showed evidence of anisotropy in the stereo depth perception [4, 5]. Mathematical models and computer algorithms developed according to previous experimental results help us to understand the human visual system and to build artificial visual systems.
