Abstract

In this chapter, depth estimation for stereo pair of High Dynamic Range (HDR) images is proposed. The proposed algorithm consists of two major techniques namely conversion of HDR images to Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images or Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) images and estimating the depth from the converted LDR / SDR stereo images. Local based tone mapping technique is used for the conversion of the HDR images to SDR images. And the depth estimation is done based on the corner features of the stereo pair images and block matching algorithm. Computationally much less expensive cost functions Mean Square Error (MSE) or Mean Absolute Difference (MAD) can be used for block matching algorithms. The proposed algorithm is explained with illustrations and results.
