Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING IMAGES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000013142
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for accurately computing parallax information as captured by imagery of a scene. The method computes the parallax information of each point in an image by computting the parallax within windows that are offset with respect to the point for which the parallax is being computed. Additionally, parallax computations are performed over multiple frames of imagery to ensure accuracy of the parallax computation and to facilitate correction of occluded imagery.
