Abstract
We present a new, efficient stereo algorithm addressing robust disparity estimation in the presence of occlusions. The algorithm uses multiple windows and left-right consistency to compute disparity and its associated uncertainty. We demonstrate and discuss performances with both synthetic and real stereo pairs, and show how our results improve on those of closely related techniques for both robustness and efficiency.
