1 Introduction

Computational stereo vision is one of the core topics in image analysis and computer vision. The purpose of every kind of vision system is to understand the outside world through the interpretation of the images formed, either in the eyes or in cameras, by photons received from many directions. Humans have two frontal-parallel eyes that see the world from two slightly different positions. These views are combined to recover the 3D information ...
