Wide-baseline stereo matching is a common problem of computer vision. By the explosion of smartphones equipped with camera modules, many classical computer vision solutions have been adapted to such platforms. Considering the widespread use of various networking options for mobile phones, one can consider a set of smart phones as an ad-hoc camera network, where each camera is equipped with a more and more powerful computing engine in addition to a limited bandwidth communication with other devices. Therefore the performance of classical vision algorithms in a collaborative mobile environment is of particular interest. In such a scenario we expect that the images are taken almost simultaneously but from different viewpoints, implying that the camera poses are significantly different but lighting conditions are the same. In this work, we provide quantitative comparison of the most important keypoint detectors and descriptors in the context of wide baseline stereo matching. We found that for resolution of 2 megapixels images the current mobile hardware is capable of providing results efficiently.

There are three possible partitionings of the continuous plane into regular polygons that leads to triangular, square, and hexagonal grids. The topology of the square grid is fairly well-understood, but it cannot be said of the remaining two regular sampling schemes. This paper presents a general characterization of simple pixels and some simplified sufficient conditions for topology-preserving operators in all the three types of regular grids.

In this article we study the uniqueness of the reconstruction in a special class of 4-connected hv-convex images, using two projections and the so-called morphological skeleton. Generally, if just the two projections are given, there can be exponentially many hv-convex 4-connected images satisfying them. Knowing the morphological skeleton in addition, we can reduce the number of solutions. In the studied class, the images are defined by two parameters. We show that the uniqueness of their reconstruction depends only on the values of those parameters.
