    Abstract: A computer-implemented stereo image processing method which uses contours is described. In an embodiment, contours are extracted from two silhouette images captured at substantially the same time by a stereo camera of at least part of an object in a scene. Stereo correspondences between contour points on corresponding scanlines in the two contour images (one corresponding to each silhouette image in the stereo pair) are calculated on the basis of contour point comparison metrics, such as the compatibility of the normal of the contours and/or a distance along the scanline between the point and a centroid of the contour. A corresponding system is also described.

    Abstract: The description relates to stereo image matching to determine depth of a scene as captured by images. More specifically, the described implementations can involve a two-stage approach where the first stage can compute depth at highly accurate but sparse feature locations. The second stage can compute a dense depth map using the first stage as initialization. This improves accuracy and robustness of the dense depth map.

    Abstract: Real-time stereo matching is described, for example, to find depths of objects in an environment from an image capture device capturing a stream of stereo images of the objects. For example, the depths may be used to control augmented reality, robotics, natural user interface technology, gaming and other applications. Streams of stereo images, or single stereo images, obtained with or without patterns of illumination projected onto the environment are processed using a parallel-processing unit to obtain depth maps. In various embodiments a parallel-processing unit propagates values related to depth in rows or columns of a disparity map in parallel. In examples, the values may be propagated according to a measure of similarity between two images of a stereo pair; propagation may be temporal between disparity maps of frames of a stream of stereo images and may be spatial within a left or right disparity map.

    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards stereo matching based upon active illumination, including using a patch in a non-actively illuminated image to obtain weights that are used in patch similarity determinations in actively illuminated stereo images. To correlate pixels in actively illuminated stereo images, adaptive support weights computations may be used to determine similarity of patches corresponding to the pixels. In order to obtain meaningful adaptive support weights for the adaptive support weights computations, weights are obtained by processing a non-actively illuminated (“clean”) image.

    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards controlling the intensity of illumination of a scene or part of a scene, including to conserve illumination power. Quality of depth data in stereo images may be measured with different illumination states; environmental conditions, such as ambient light, natural texture may affect the quality. The illumination intensity may be controllably varied to obtain sufficient quality while conserving power. The control may be directed to one or more regions of interest corresponding to an entire scene or part of a scene.

    Abstract: A combination of three computational components may provide memory and computational efficiency while producing results with little latency, e.g., output can begin with the second frame of video being processed. Memory usage may be reduced by maintaining key frames of video and pose information for each frame of video. Additionally, only one global volumetric structure may be maintained for the frames of video being processed. To be computationally efficient, only depth information may be computed from each frame. Through fusion of multiple depth maps from different frames into a single volumetric structure, errors may average out over several frames, leading to a final output with high quality.
