title = "Fast multi-labelling for stereo matching",
abstract = "We describe a new fast algorithm for multi-labelling problems. In general, a multi-labelling problem is NP-hard. Widely used algorithms like α-expansion can reach a suboptimal result in a time linear in the number of the labels. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which can obtain results of comparable quality polynomially faster. We use the Divide and Conquer paradigm to separate the complexities induced by the label set and the variable set, and deal with each of them respectively. Such a mechanism improves the solution speed without depleting the memory resource, hence it is particularly valuable for applications where the variable set and the label set are both huge. Another merit of the proposed method is that the trade-off between quality and time efficiency can be varied through using different parameters. The advantage of our method is validated by experiments.",
