Light Field Disparity Map Enhancement with Morphological Filtering

| Light field disparity estimation algorithms are comprised of two steps: an initial estimation step and a global optimization step. The initial estimation is often noisy and may contain high amplitude artefacts. Global optimization techniques might inadequately propagate these artefacts, providing suboptimal results. In this paper, an iterative morphological filter is proposed as an intermediate step or replacement to global optimization techniques. This algorithm iteratively filters the disparity map with an average of Open followed by Close and Close followed by Open morphological operations, enabling the removal of artefacts and noise, without adversely affecting the structure of the disparity map. The iterative open-close close-open filter attenuates the effect of artefacts and noise from an initial disparity estimation, achieving improvements of up to 90%, and more than 30%, on average, in terms of mean square error, when applied to the a structure-tensor-based initial estimation. In addition, the proposed method proves to be competitive with another state of the art algorithm, in terms of mean square error, and superior in terms of percentage of bad pixels. | 1.42 MB | Adobe PDF |

Resumo(s)
Light field disparity estimation algorithms are comprised of two steps: an initial estimation step and a global optimization step. The initial estimation is often noisy and may contain high amplitude artefacts. Global optimization techniques might inadequately propagate these artefacts, providing suboptimal results. In this paper, an iterative morphological filter is proposed as an intermediate step or replacement to global optimization techniques. This algorithm iteratively filters the disparity map with an average of Open followed by Close and Close followed by Open morphological operations, enabling the removal of artefacts and noise, without adversely affecting the structure of the disparity map. The iterative open-close close-open filter attenuates the effect of artefacts and noise from an initial disparity estimation, achieving improvements of up to 90%, and more than 30%, on average, in terms of mean square error, when applied to the a structure-tensor-based initial estimation. In addition, the proposed method proves to be competitive with another state of the art algorithm, in terms of mean square error, and superior in terms of percentage of bad pixels.
