In this thesis, an innovative algorithm for improving the accuracy of variational space-time stereoscopic reconstruction of ocean surfaces is presented. The space-time reconstruction method, developed based on stereo computer vision principles and variational optimization theory, takes videos captured by synchronized cameras as inputs and produces the shape and superficial pattern of an overlapped region of interest as outputs. These outputs are designed to be the minimizers of the variational o
