This paper presents an approach for edge segment based stereo analysis. In this, linear features are derived independently from a pair of stereo images and are matched using a relaxation labeling technique. The matching process integrates two global stereo matching constraints, figural continuity and disparity continuity. The results of the experiments show that the method is capable of solving the correspondence problem with reasonable accuracy. This segment based stereo analysis will be utilized as a component of a hierarchical stereo system currently under development. It is believed that the hierarchical stereo approach will attempt to capture the unique strengths of primitives of differing levels of abstraction in a systematic manner.
