Improving the efficiency of determining paired points in frames of a stereo pair based on the edge detection from their binary images

Abstract

The high speed method for determining parallax shifts of paired points of stereo pairs is discussed in the article. It uses the contours of video objects from binary images. This method improves the efficiency of video stream coding in stereoscopic television systems. The encoders of realtime stereo television systems can use simpler and cheaper microprocessors due to the high speed of the proposed method.
