Abstract
Contours made up of sequences of adjacent edge points are used as primitives in stereo pair matching. Matching contour segments, rather than the traditional epipolar edge points, can greatly reduce possible ambiguity. This is done by reformulating point matching constraints to apply to contour matching, and by introducing a unique incremental matching scheme. Best matched contours are paired first, constraining through neighborhood support their neighboring contours. Examples for the proposed stereo matching scheme are shown, with very few errors, for aerial images of natural terrain.
