Abstract
Existed local stereo methods usually choose the support region for aggregation using correlation or color information independently. The correlation cue works well with high textures but has a poor performance near depth discontinuities while the color cue plays the complementary role. In this paper we first propose a new soft segmentation approach for correlation-based aggregation. Then we make a combination of the two cues and adopt the advantages of them to overcome the limitation of each other. Our approach performs a two stage aggregation based on correlation and color respectively. Each stage is operated by a bilateral filter on the cost volume. The combination is simple and effective, which enables our approach to achieve a better performance in both highly textured areas and depth discontinuities than existed methods. The experimental results conform to our expectation and do make improvements to state-of-the-art methods.
