Influence Of camera imaging pipeline on stereo-matching quality: An experimental study
Mihail Georgiev, Atanas P. Gotchev, Miska M. Hannuksela · 2013
The paper aims at characterizing the role of camera capture process in depth quality estimation by stereo-matching methods. An evaluation software application has been developed which integrates a modular image processing pipeline (IPP) in to the depth estimation process. The application allows for simulating the presence of camera-specific processing artifacts and their influence on the captured stereo imagery in typical imaging scenarios. Furthermore, it allows for benchmarking and optimizing both the depth estimation module and camera capture settings for a jointly-optimal performance.
