• In MAP-MRF framework
• f: disparity map
Mutual Information• Used as a data cost:
•Measures the mutual dependence of the two random variables

Mutual InformationSuppose you are reporting the result of rolling a
fair eight-sided die. What is the entropy?
→The probability distribution is f (x) = 1/8, for x =1··8 , Therefore entropy is:
= 8(1/8)log 8 = 3 bits

Pixel-wise Mutual Information• Previous: Mutual Information of whole images• Difficult to use it as a data cost in an energy
minimization framework → Pixel-wise
Pixel-wise Mutual Information
=
P(.) / P(., .) : marginal / joint probability
G(.) / G(., .) : 1D / 2D Gaussian function

Conventional MI• Cannot handle the local radiometric variations
caused by light configuration change
• Collect correspondences in the joint probability assuming that there is a global transformation
• The shape of the corresponding joint probability is very sparse.
• Do not encode spatial information
Conventional MI• Different camera exposures (global)
• Different light configurations (local)Conventional MI

Log-chromaticity Color Space• Transform the input color images to log-
chromaticity color space [5]
• To deal with local as well as global radiometric variations
• Used to establish a linear relationship between color values of input images

SIFT Descriptor• Robust and accurately depicts local gradient
information
• Computed for every pixel in the log-chromaticity color space
Energy Function• Data Cost:
• Mutual Information:
• SIFT descriptor distance:

Joint Probability Using SIFT DescriptorA joint probability is computed at each channel
by use of the estimated disparity map from the previous iteration.
Wrong disparity can induce an incorrect joint probability.
Incorporate the spatial information in the joint probability computation step
Adopt the SIFT descriptor
Joint Probability Using SIFT Descriptor
• K-channel SIFT-weighted joint probability:
• : Euclidean distance• VL,K(P) / VR,K(P) : SIFT descriptors for the pixel P• l : SIFT descriptor size
T = 1 If TrueT = 0 If false

Joint Probability Using SIFT Descriptor• A joint probability is computed at each channel • Use estimated disparity map from the previous
iteration.
• is governed by the constraint that corresponding pixels should have similar gradient structures.

Energy Minimization• The total energy is minimized by the Graph-cuts
expansion algorithm[3].

Experiments
Experimental Results• The std. dev σ of the Gaussian function is 10,
τ = 30, l = 4*4*8 = 128
• The window size of the SIFT descriptor : 9X9
• λ = 0.1, μ = 1.1, VMAX=5
• The total running time of our method for most images does not exceed 8 minutes.
• Aloe image (size : 427 X 370 / disparity range : 0-70) is about 6 minutes on a PC with PENTIUM-4 2.4GHz CPU.
