A new matching approach based on line moments in binocular stereovision

Abstract

This paper concern the matching phase needed in binocular stereovision, for object location in 3D scene. We present here a new matching approach exploiting line moments. We show that the relation between the line moments having (0+q) order of a segment of the image on the right and the same order moment of the image on the left keep a constant value if the two considered segments are well matched. This relation becomes variable in the case of a bad matching. This method have been tested on diverse real scenes with varied complexity levels and the results obtained are presented.
