Using periodic texture as a tool for wide-baseline stereo

We address the problem of wide-baseline stereo and demonstrate that the presence and proper analysis of distinct periodic textures can facilitate: 1. finding a few initial correspondences in a wide-baseline stereo pair; 2. establishing precise correspondences for building the epipolar geometry; 3. computing correct disparity maps for regions with periodic 3D textures.
