Abstract:This paper presents an efficient binocular correspondence algorithm based ondyadic wavelet transform. Compared with the conventional algorithm, this methodachieves higher accuracy and speed (improved by about one order of magnitude). Thestereo images are first d6composed on the dyadic wavelet bases. By analyzing the transform coefficients, the authors get an efficient method to remove noises and extract edges.Some basic constraints for matching, e. g. the one which requires that the edge directionsbe nearly the same, are naturally expressed by the
