Enhanced disparity estimation in stereo images

作者：

Highlights：

• A two-phase strategy for combining separate cost volumes is described.

• A mean-shift segmentation-driven approach to handle disparity outliers is utilized.

• Low-textured area plane fitting is fostered by using disparity histogram analysis.

• Our method ranks first among published methods in the Middlebury evaluation system.
