The lecture focuses on solving the so-called stereo correspondence problem, i.e. the task of finding a corresponding pixel in the right image for each pixel of the left image. This problem represents a central topic in computer vision. The lecture starts with an introduction to local stereo methods (block matching) and then concentrates on global techniques (dynamic programming, belief propagation und graph-cuts). Further topics are segmentation-based stereo matching, temporal stereo and related computer vision topics such as optical flow or image matting.
The lectures will be held between May 8th and June 26th 2019, every Monday from 10 a.m to 12 a.m. The preliminary meeting is on March 13th 2019 at the seminar room FAV 01 C (Favoritenstrasse 9-11, 1st floor, Room HE0108).
