Abstract

The adaptive disparity filter is refined, along with the monocular feature filter designed based on neuron dynamics, and a new stereopsis model is set up in this study. The disparities of the matched binocular features in stereo image pair are detected by the adaptive disparity filter, and removed by the monocular feature filter, only leaving those unmatched monocular features to be added to all depth planes determined by the disparities of the matched binocular features. Finally, visible surface perception is generated by the closed boundaries in the corresponding depth plane during the filling-in processing. By the above mechanism, the depth perception of surfaces in the occluded scenic images is realized, also, the figure-ground segmentation.
