Abstract

See full text

An imaging system and method are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes an edge-detecting module detecting edge coordinates in a first image; first and second disparity-estimating modules respectively configured to obtain a first and second estimated disparity map, a cross-checking module configured to cross check the first estimated disparity map using the second estimated disparity map to identify occlusion pixels in the first estimated disparity map, an occlusion-refining module configured to refine the occlusion pixels by identifying at least a pixel under refinement on the first estimated disparity map as occluded based on the number of occlusion pixels in a refining base region, and a hole-filling module configured to fill the refined set of occlusion pixels. The imaging system improves the quality of a disparity map and controls the complexity of stereo-matching.
