Visual correspondence problem (matching), %including stereo matching and motion matching, is an major issue in vision. Matching can be divided in {\it feature-based} and {\it area-based} matching. In area-based matching, correlation is a common tool for the visual correspondence problem. But most classical correlation methods fail near the disparity discontinuity, which occurs at the boundaries of objects. In this report, we propose a {\it partial correlation} technique for solving this problem. We use a robust statistics tool to find the {\it good part} to be considered for applying correlation, We have compared our method with the standard and non standard techniques. Experimental results validate the approach.
