Abstract
We propose a computational scheme for uncalibrated reconstruction of scene structure up to a relief transformation from binocular disparities. This scheme, which we call regional disparity correction (RDC), is motivated both by computational considerations and by psychophysical observations regarding human stereoscopic depth perception. We describe an implementation of RDC, and demonstrate its performance experimentally. As an example of applications of RDC, we show how it can be used to align a three-dimensional object model with an uncalibrated disparity field.
