Two new methods for stereo-view problems - two-stage dynamic programming model(TDM) and physical-space method(PSM)

One method is the two-stage dynamic programming model, TDM in short. The TDM has been developed and successful in solving the real complex stereo problems in which there are positional reversals in the matching orders between the pixels on the right and left images. The another is a stereo algorithm based on the physical-space method, PSM in short. The PSM is a new method for multi-sensor fusion problems. The stereo algorithm based on the PSM has been developed for solving the case of multi-view, and successful in the simple scenes. Test results of these two methods are also described. (orig./DG)
