Correspondence matching based on Higher Order Statistics for Multi-view plus Depth video sequences

Abstract

This work addresses the problem of correspondence matching in multiview video sequences when co-acquired depth maps are available, as in the novel Multiview Video plus Depth (MVD) format. For the purpose of activity-based correspondence matching, we exploit the view depth information, allowing a thorough geometrical analysis of the video scene, and the statistical analysis of the inter-frame differences.
