| Abstract: | The present paper proposes a method that estimates a stereo disparity map. The method consists of multilayered reaction-diffusion equations having two variables. A particular equation describes non-linear oscillators coupled with diffusion processes. Estimating a stereo disparity map requires the two constraints: the smoothness constraint and the uniqueness one. The activation process of the diffusion-coupled oscillators performs the smoothness constraint. The mutual inhibition mechanism among the multilayered equations retains the uniqueness of disparity. By applying the proposed equations to stereo images, we obtain a self-organized stereo disparity map. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to a previous one. | ||
