We propose a method for uncalibrated stereo matching. The method applies gradual elastic deformation to the line segments in a pair of images until they match with each other. By using an energy function and a neighborhood function, matching is performed in a coarse‐to‐fine manner. Our method gives point correspondences with a low proportion of outliers and is robust in the uncalibrated case (with no need to estimate the epipolar geometry). The computation complexity is proportional to the square of the number of line segments in the images, which is relatively efficient compared with other elaborate methods. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
