Abstract We propose a new algorithm for stereoscopic depth perception, where the depth map is the momentary state of a dynamic process. To each image point we assign a set of possible disparity values. In a dynamic process with competition and cooperation, the correct disparity value is selected for each image point. Therefore, we solve the correspondence problem by a dynamic, self-organizing process, the structure of which shows analogies to the human visual system. The algorithm can be implemented in a massive parallel manner and yields good results for either artificial or natural images.
