Abstract

In this paper, we propose a variant of Semi-Global Matching, hSGM which is a hierarchical pyramid based dense stereo matching algorithm. Our method aggregates the matching costs from the coarse to fine scale in multiple directions to determine the optimal disparity for each pixel. It has several advantages over the original SGM: a low space complexity and efficient implementation on GPU. We show several experimental results to demonstrate our method is efficient and obtains a good quality of disparity maps.
