Therefore, errors in initial disparity maps are propagated in consecutive processing steps. This is in particularly problematic for difficult scene elements, e.g., periodic structures. Consequently, we introduce a simple, yet novel confidence measure that filters out wrongly computed disparities, resulting in improved final disparity maps. To demonstrate the benefit of this approach, we compare our method with existing state-of-the-art confidence measures and show that we improve the ability to detect false disparities by 54.2%.enstereo vision3D reconstructiondisparity estimationconfidence measureCNN621006conference paper
