Image　stereo　correspondence　is　the　core　technology　of　stereo　vision.　It　has　been　widely　studied　and　applied　in　the　fields　such　as　3D　reconstruction,　vision　measurement　and　target　recognition.　According　to　characteristics　and　application　of　stereo　matching　technology,　the　image　stereo　correspondence　methods　can　be　classified　into　three　categories:　local　stereo　correspondence,　global　stereo　correspondence　and　semi-global　stereo　correspondence.　Some　image　stereo　correspondence　solutions　and　problems　are　emphatically　analyzed.　Finally　some　future　research　issues　on　image　stereo　correspondence　are　highlighted.　©　(2014)　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
