Automatic feature matching in uncalibrated stereo vision through the use of color

Abstract

One difficult problem in stereo vision is how to establish correspondence between features extracted from a pair of images. The difficulty is due to ambiguities or inconsistencies of available information on images. In this paper, we invetigate stereo correspondence problem in the framework of color stereo vision. We propose the use of a matching consistence (MC) constraint in RGB color space and the generalized epipolar geometry to develop an automatic feature matching algorithm.
