Popis: We propose a novel idea to introduce regularization based on second order total generalized variation (\(\text {TGV}\)) into optimization frameworks based on functional lifting. The proposed formulation extends a recent sublabel-accurate relaxation for multi-label problems and thus allows for accurate solutions using only a small number of labels, significantly improving over previous approaches towards lifting the total generalized variation. Moreover, even recent sublabel accurate methods exhibit staircasing artifacts when used in conjunction with common first order regularizers such as the total variation (\(\text {TV}\)). This becomes very obvious for example when computing derivatives of disparity maps computed with these methods to obtain normals, which immediately reveals their local flatness and yields inaccurate normal maps. We show that our approach is effective in reducing these artifacts, obtaining disparity maps with a smooth normal field in a single optimization pass.
