Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A disparity estimation method of stereoscopic image is provided. A matching cost computation is executed for a first image and a second image, and one extreme value is selected from cost values corresponding to estimating disparities for each pixel to obtain a matching point corresponding to each pixel. And a matching disparity corresponding to each matching point is adjusted based on edge detection according to a scan order.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A disparity estimation method of stereoscopic images for an electronic apparatus, comprising: obtaining a plurality of cost values of each of a plurality of pixels of a first image corresponding to a second image within a disparity search range, wherein a size of the first image is identical to that of the second image; selecting an extreme value from the cost values corresponding to each of the pixels and using the extreme value as a matching cost value t…
