The technique of stereo matching is an important research goal of spherical stereo vision system, which is widely used in visual navigation, motion analysis and panoramic surveillance areas. Fisheye lens can get view images of large field, this paper uses two fisheye lens whose optical axis are perpendicular to construct spherical stereo vision system and does research in stereo matching of spherical stereo vision system. As the image that fish eye lens collected has lager distortion, this paper does stereo matching with the images the system collected without distortion correction using matching algorithm based on maximally stable extremal regions (MSER) and affine scale invariant feature transform (ASIFT) to reduce the correction error generated in the process. The experiment results show that the algorithm can be applied in stereo matching of fish eye image without distortion, and the results meets the need of 3D reconstruction.
