Dense Stereomatching Algorithm Performance for View Prediction and Structure Reconstruction Jana Kostkova The knowledge of stereo matching algorithm properties and behaviour under varying conditions is crucial for the selection of a proper method for the desired application. In this paper we study the behaviour of four representative matching algorithms under varying signal-to-noise ratio in six types of error statistics. The errors are focused on basic matching failure mechanisms and their definition observes the principles of independence, symmetry and completeness. A ground truth experiment shows that the best choice for view prediction is the Graph Cuts algorithm and for structure reconstruction it is the Confidently Stable Matching.
