Abstract
Prediction errors are commonly used when analyzing the performance of a multi-camera stereo system using at least three cameras. This paper discusses this methodology for performance evaluation for the first time on long stereo sequences (in the context of vision-based driver assistance systems). Three cameras are calibrated in an ego-vehicle, and prediction error analysis is performed on recorded stereo sequences. They are evaluated using various common stereo matching algorithms, such as belief propagation, dynamic programming, semi-global matching, or graph cut. Performance is evaluated on both synthetic and real data.
