Stereo disparity and L/sup 1/ minimization

In this note, we employ an L/sup 1/ PDE approach for stereo disparity. This approach has the nice feature of preserving edges in the computation. Our numerical method is based on the techniques for the analysis of curves evolving according to functions of curvature.
