Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image processing apparatus and a method implemented by the image process apparatus generates a vertical disparity map through regression analysis, based on a difference between vertical coordinate values from feature correspondence information of left and right source images. A geometric difference through image warping is calibrated before depth information is restored through depth estimation. Thus, a process of optimizing a camera model may not have to be performed, and occurrence of black areas that may be caused by image rotation may be reduced.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A stereo source image calibration method comprising: receiving an input of a stereo source image, and extracting features respectively from left and right source images; generating feature correspondence information by matching the features, extracted respectively from the left and right source images, with each other; generating a vertical disparity map with respect to the left and right source images, based on a difference between coordinate values fro…
