An electronic device estimates a depth map of an environment based on matching reduced-resolution stereo depth images captured by depth cameras to generate a coarse disparity (depth) map. The electronic device downsamples depth images captured by the depth cameras and matches sections of the reduced-resolution images to each other to generate a coarse depth map. The electronic device upsamples the coarse depth map to a higher resolution and refines the upsampled depth map to generate a high-resolution depth map to support location-based functionality.
