This dissertation deals with dense stereo matching of optical image data, in particular improving the accuracy of the well-established Semi-Global Matching (SGM) algorithm through different machine learning techniques. With a main focus on remote sensing data, three different algorithms are developed that improve the matching cost through self-supervised learning, optimize SGM regularization through classification, and provide efficient depth estimation through a pyramid-based end-to-end trainable deep learning network, which is particularly suitable for scenes with large height differences.
