Disparity analysis: a wavelet transform approach

Describes a new method for the computation of a disparity map between a couple of stereo images. The disparities are computed along the x and y axes, respectively at each point of the image. In order to compute the disparity field, first a set of ground control points is detected in both images. Next, a mapping of the disparities over the entire image is done using the kriging method. Finally, the stereo couple of images is registered using the disparity maps. >
