Subject: Discontinuity detection in stereo images/References?
Keywords: stereo,automatic correlation,discontinuities,artificial intelligence
Organization: USAETL, Fort Belvoir, Virginia


I am interested in references and people who are working on the problem of
automatically detecting terrain discontinuities from aerial stereo imagery
prior to obtaining a complete elevation model.  The question is 'Can
information obtained from correlation 'attempts' be used to enhance automatic
stereo matching and image interpretation?'  One of the baseline problems is the
distinction between textural edges and geometric edges.

Please send the references by e-mail and I will compile and post my findings.
