## Abstract (arXiv)

Localizing stereo boundaries is difficult because matching cues are absent in the occluded regions that are adjacent to them. We introduce an energy and level-set optimizer that improves boundaries by encoding the essential geometry of occlusions: The spatial extent of an occlusion must equal the amplitude of the disparity jump that causes it. In a collection of figure-ground scenes from Middlebury and Falling Things stereo datasets, the model provides more accurate boundaries than previous occlusion-handling techniques.
