....in both techniques that a search process is required to find the best match between the areas or features. As a third approach, a new technique has been proposed in which disparity is expressed in terms of phase differences in the output of local, bandpass filters applied to the stereo views [10, 23, 29]. The main advantages of such local, phase based approaches include computational simplicity, stability against varying lighting condition and especially direct localization of the estimated disparities. Also, there is biological evidence supporting different aspects of this method including [23] ....

The relationship between local phase differences in band pass channels and interocular disparity has been established previously byanumber of authors [7, 11,14,8,3,6]. We begin by considering the input to be one dimensional and then extend the measurement algorithm to two dimensions in the following section.

....want to estimate a disparity at each instance of time, but this disparity should also be consistent over time and with the target location, hence disparity selection is tightly coupled with pursuit. As the disparity estimator a method which is based on the output phase of bandpass filters [San88] [WK89] is employed. The advantage of the method is in the computational cost, the stability against varying lighting condition and especially in the direct localization of the disparity estimation. Provided with a disparity map from the phase based algorithm, we introduce an approach to select the ....

....when motion is viewed as spatio temporal orientations. However, the frequency domain methods described below are related closely and, in some cases, can be shown to be equivalent [127] Phase based techniques have been used for disparity estimation, especially within the context of stereopsis [148, 74]. Although the stereopsis problem is similar to the motion estimation problem, it is based on the assumption that the disparities will be 1 D, ie horizontal. The basis of phase based methods is the fact that a shift in the spatial domain results in a phase shift in the frequency domain [107] ie ....

....these results are directly relevant to differential optical flow methods and zero crossing tracking. 1 Introduction An important class of image matching techniques has emerged based on phase information; that is, the phase behaviour in band pass filtered versions of different views of a 3 d scene [3, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 25, 27, 30, 32, 33]. These include phase difference and phase correlation techniques for discrete two view matching, and the use of the phase gradient for the measurement of image orientation and optical flow. Numerous desirable properties of these techniques have been reported: For two view matching, the disparity ....

....The band pass signal is typically generated by a linear filter with a complex valued impulse response (or kernel) the real and imaginery components of which are usually even and odd symmetric. Gabor functions (sinusoidally modulated Gaussian windows [10] are perhaps the most commonly used filter [7, 8, 15, 18, 27, 30, 33]. Other choices of filter include: sinusoidally modulated square wave (constant) windows [30] filters with nonlinear phase that cycles between Gamma and only once within the support width of the kernel [31, 32, 33] quadrature pair steerable pyramids constructed with symmetric kernels and ....

....shifted regions on the same vertical position and then to find the shift that gave maximum correlation. This is, however, a computationally very expensive method. Later approaches have been more focused on using the phase information given by for example Gabor filters or quadrature filters [9, 11, 7, 10]. An advantage of phase based methods is that phase is a continuous variable that allows for sub pixel accuracy. In phase based methods, the disparity can be estimated as a ratio between the phase difference between corresponding vertical line edge filter outputs from the two images and the ....

Using spatial frequency selective representations such as that proposed by Gabor 1946, unbiased estimates of disparity can be obtained by considering phase differences between bandpass filtered versions of each view (Jepson and Fleet 1989, Sanger 1988, Wilson and Knutsson 1989).
