Abstract:
Stereo matching problem attempts to find corresponding locations between pairs of displaced images of the same scene. Correspondence estimation between pixels suffers from occlusions, noise, and bias. This paper introduces a novel approach to represent images by means of interval-valued fuzzy sets. These sets allow one to overcome the uncertainty due to the aforementioned problems. The aim is to take advantage of the new representation to develop a stereo matching algorithm. The interval-valued fuzzification process for images that is proposed here is based on image segmentation. Interval-valued fuzzy similarities are introduced to compare windows whose pixels are represented by intervals. To make use of color information, the similarities of the RGB channels were aggregated using the luminance formula. The experimental analysis makes a comparison with other methods. The new representation that is proposed together with the new similarity measure show a better overall behavior, providing more accurate correspondences, mainly near depth discontinuities and for images with a large amount of color.

Stereoisomers
Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
