Abstract

Disparity refinement is a post-processing step in stereo vision that retrieves unknown disparity values caused by pixel occlusions or estimation errors. This step is crucial for improving depth estimation accuracy and reducing artifacts. In this work, we propose an iterative method based on genetic optimization to perform disparity refinement for stereo vision. The estimation of unknown disparity values is formulated as an optimization problem, where a fitness function is optimized by minimizing a trade-off between disparity variations and point correspondence errors. The proposed method achieves accurate refined disparity maps for stereo depth estimation. Computer simulation results are presented and discussed in terms of objective performance measures. Additionally, the results are compared with those obtained using a well-known existing method.
