STEREO IMAGE MATCHING USING MULTI-WAVELETS
Asim Bhatti, Saeid Nahavandi, Hong Zheng · 2003
A multi-resolution image matching technique; based on multi-wavelets, followed by a coarse to fine strategy is presented. The technique addresses the estimation of corresponding points in the presence of occlusion, ambiguity and illuminative variations in the two images. In order to tackle the problem of occlusion and ambiguity a geometric topological approach is used along with · the normalized correlation which performs well in the presence of illuminative variations. A comparison between scalar and multi-wavelets is also performed, in the context of fmding the optimal corresponding points. 1
