 * SECTION:element-disparity
 *
 * This element computes a disparity map from two stereo images, meaning each one coming from a
 * different camera, both looking at the same scene and relatively close to each other - more on
 * this below. The disparity map is a proxy of the depth of a scene as seen from the camera.
 *
 * Assumptions: Input images are stereo, rectified and aligned. If these conditions are not met,
 * results can be poor. Both cameras should be looking parallel to maximize the overlapping
 * stereo area, and should not have objects too close or too far. The algorithms implemented here
 * run prefiltering stages to normalize brightness between the inputs, and to maximize texture.
 *
 * Note that in general is hard to find correspondences between soft textures, for instance a
 * block of gloss blue colour. The output is a gray image with values close to white meaning
 * closer to the cameras and darker far away. Black means that the pixels were not matched
 * correctly (not found). The resulting depth map can be transformed into real world coordinates
 * by means of OpenCV function (reprojectImageTo3D) but for this the camera matrixes need to
 * be fully known.
 *
 * Algorithm 1 is the OpenCV Stereo Block Matching, similar to the one developed by Kurt Konolige
 * [A] and that works by using small Sum-of-absolute-differenc (SAD) windows to find matching
 * points between the left and right rectified images. This algorithm finds only strongly matching
 * points between both images, this means normally strong textures. In soft textures, such as a
 * single coloured wall (as opposed to, f.i. a hairy rug), not all pixels might have correspondence.
 *
 * Algorithm 2 is the Semi Global Matching (SGM) algorithm [B] which models the scene structure
 * with a point-wise matching cost and an associated smoothness term. The energy minimization
 * is then computed in a multitude of 1D lines. For each point, the disparity corresponding to
 * the minimum aggregated cost is selected. In [B] the author proposes to use 8 or 16 different
 * independent paths. The SGM approach works well near depth discontinuities, but produces less
 * accurate results. Despite its relatively large memory footprint, this method is very fast and
 * potentially robust to complicated textured regions.
 *
 * Algorithm 3 is the OpenCV implementation of a modification of the variational stereo
 * correspondence algorithm, described in [C].
 *
 * Algorithm 4 is the Graph Cut stereo vision algorithm (GC) introduced in [D]; it is a global
 * stereo vision method. It calculates depth discontinuities by minimizing an energy function
 * combingin a point-wise matching cost and a smoothness term. The energy function is passed
 * to graph and Graph Cut is used to find a lowest-energy cut. GC is computationally intensive due
 * to its global nature and uses loads of memory, but it can deal with textureless regions and
 * reflections better than other methods.
 * Graphcut based technique is CPU intensive hence smaller framesizes are desired.
 *
 * Some test images can be found here: http://vision.stanford.edu/~birch/p2p/
