A novel stereoscopic image processing pipeline

Abstract

This paper presents a novel stereoscopic image processing pipeline which ensures the consistency of a stereoscopic image pair. Although a stereoscopic image calibration method should resolve both photometric and geometric binocular asymmetries, most previous approaches [1], [2] have mainly focused on the geometric calibration so far. In contrast to this biased research, we propose both photometric and geometric calibration methods which are readily applicable to an embedded pipeline for a stereoscopic camera system. The experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed pipeline for calibrating a stereoscopic image pair.
