Depth Estimation Through Disparity Analysis in Computer Vision
Explore the concept of disparity in computer vision to measure image depth based on pixel movement. Utilizing calibrated cameras, rectify images to improve accuracy by fine-tuning alignment and disparity calculations. Leverage sliding technique for dense correspondence analysis and extract 3D information from rectified images. Witness a visual demonstration showcasing the potential of disparity for depth estimation in computer vision.

Last Week • Switched to calibrated camera model • Was having trouble rectifying images • Often off by up to 10 scanlines
Disparity • Measuring the amount of movement (in pixels) between the two rectified images • Inversely proportional to the depth of the image (low disparity = far, high disparity = close) • We can do this by “sliding” the left image over the right image, subtracting, and saving the lowest (closest to zero) results • DEMO’D
Disparity cont’d • Essentially, disparity will give us dense correspondence
3D DEMO’D • Noisy, but not terrible (the “essence” of the scene is captured)
