STEREOPSIS AND EYE-MOVEMENT.

A method to solve the stereo correspondence using controlled movements of the head, eye or camera is described. These movements essentially supply additional image-frames which can be used to constrain the stereo matching. Because these movements are small, traditional methods of stereo with multiframe will not work. An alternative approach is developed which uses a systematic analysis to define a probability distribution for the errors. The matching strategy then matches the most probable points first, thereby reducing the ambiguity for the remaining matches. The strategy for the special case of eye-movements is described.
