StereoWS

Since December 2008, UCL-MSSL developed a platform independent stereo application in
collaboration with JPL, NASA as a subtask of EU-FP7 PRoViSG.
This work was originally proposed for two months of work, but it was rescheduled to run
untill August 2011 after realising its synergetic relationship with other UCL tasks within the
ProVisG project. Within this time period, UCL delivered consortium members a stereo
application (called StereoWS ver. 1.0), which integrates various practical stereo tools into the
JPL’s stereo rendering engine (called JADIS). In addition, a part of software (called StView
ver.1.0) was ported to a web-based GIS system (e.g., ProGIS) and ProVIP as a solution for
stereo visualisation.
Apart from the stereo visualisation, some useful stereo tools (e.g., stereo matcher or stereo
image processing tools) have been extracted from UCL’s previous development for HRSC
data processing, and modified for close-range stereo imagery.
