RESUMO
In this paper we present a comparison study between different aggregation functions for the combination of RGB color channels in stereo matching problem. We introduce color information from images to the stereo matching algorithm by aggregating the similarities of the RGB channels which are calculated independently. We compare the accuracy of different stereo matching algorithms and aggregation functions. We show experimentally that the best function depends on the stereo matching algorithm considered, but the dual of the geometric mean excels as the most robust aggregation.
RESUMO
In this paper, a simple and effective image-magnification algorithm based on intervals is proposed. A low-resolution image is magnified to form a high-resolution image using a block-expanding method. Our proposed method associates each pixel with an interval obtained by a weighted aggregation of the pixels in its neighborhood. From the interval and with a linear K(α) operator, we obtain the magnified image. Experimental results show that our algorithm provides a magnified image with better quality (peak signal-to-noise ratio) than several existing methods.
