Simulation results of the SOSU demonstrated the excellent performance of this scheme when compared to those of the LS-based 2-D filtering and hybrid DC-DCT schemes for compensating for the effects of mismatching, and improving the PSNR and bit rates in stereo image compression applications. Overall, this scheme is found to be very promising for stereo image/video compression applications since not only it provides high quality reconstructed images with great compensation for mismatching problems,but also is ideally suitable for parallel implementation using array processors owing to its block-based nature. Future study should include finding the optimal edge subspace to improve the compensation ability as well as extending the proposed scheme on stereo image sequences to evaluate its real-life ap
