Morphable 3D-Mosaics: A Hybrid Framework for Photorealistic Walkthroughs of Large Natural Environments

Figure 14

(a) The left image of a stereoscopic image pair that has been captured at a region passing through a small river. (b) The estimated disparity by using a stereo matching procedure. As expected, the disparity field contains a lot of errors for many of the points on the water surface. This is true especially for those points that lie near the sun reflections on the water. (c) The corresponding disparity when a 2D homography is being used to fill the left-right correspondences for the points on the water. In this case, the water surface is implicitly approximated by a 3D plane.
