Belief Propagation on the GPU for Stereo Vision
Alan Brunton, Chang Shu, Gerhard Roth · 2006
The power of Markov random field formulations of lowlevel vision problems, such as stereo, has been known for some time. However, recent advances, both algorithmic and in processing power, have made their application practical. This paper presents a novel implementation of Bayesian belief propagation for graphics processing units found in most modern desktop and notebook computers, and applies it to the stereo problem. The stereo problem is used for comparison to other BP algorithms.
