Abstract

See full text

An interpolation operation is performed between a pair of stereo images to produce plural intermediate images. The interpiolation operation involves estimating the velocity vector field of the intermediate images. The estimation for a particular intermediate image includes constraining the search for the correspondences between the two images in the horizontal direction allowing the system to arrive at a more optimal solution. Excessive gap filling by smoothing is not necessary. At the same time the process vertically aligns the entirety of the images.
