Abstract
This paper studies different specifications of belief propagation for stereo analysis of seven rectified stereo night-vision sequences (provided by Daimler AG). As shown in [4], Sobel preprocessing of images has obvious impacts on improving disparity calculations. This paper considers other options of preprocessing (Canny and Kovesi-Owens edge operators), and concludes with a recommended setting for belief propagation on those sequences.
