This section shows some of the results obtained using the described method. A variety of images have been tested, including Random Dot Stereograms, synthetic images, and different types of real images. The image size does not have to be a power of 2.
Fig. 3 shows the result obtained by applying the algorithm to a pair of Random Dot Stereograms (RDS). Fig. 3(a)(b) show the original left and right RDS, and Fig. 3(c) is the 3D surface obtained showing the different levels of ``cakes''. Fig. 4 gives the result of the algorithm running on a synthetic image. Fig. 5 shows the results for two close range real images. Fig. 6 shows the results for two aerial photo images.
The computer used is a Sun SPARC10 running Solaris 2.5. The typical
running time for the algorithm on a 256 
256 image is in the
order of half minute rather than hours. Table 1
gives some of the typical running times of the algorithm on different
size of images with different disparities.
