Long Description

This application allows to performs block-matching to estimate pixel-wise disparities between two images. The application allows to choose the block-matching method to use. It also allows to input masks (related to the left and right input image) of pixels for which the disparity should be investigated. Additionally, two criteria can be optionally used to disable disparity investigation for some pixel: a no-data value, and a threshold on the local variance. This allows to speed-up computation by avoiding to investigate disparities that will not be reliable anyway. For efficiency reasons, if the optimal metric values image is desired, it will be concatenated to the output image (which will then have three bands : horizontal disparity, vertical disparity and metric value). One can split these images afterward.
