Automatic Depth Estimation And Stereo View Synthesis

via “stereo vision and 3d reconstruction from multiple views”

Comprehensive computer vision library with 2,500+ algorithms.

Unique: Semi-global matching (StereoSGBM) uses dynamic programming along multiple paths for smoother disparity maps than block matching, with automatic occlusion handling and sub-pixel refinement for 0.1-pixel accuracy

vs others: Faster than MVS (multi-view stereo) for real-time depth but less accurate; simpler than structure-from-motion pipelines because doesn't require feature matching; more robust than monocular depth estimation because uses geometric constraints
