Abstract
The present disclosure can provide an image processing apparatus. In some embodiments, the image processing apparatus in accordance with the disclosure comprises memory configured to store a previously selected depth information value (d), (d; d) having been selected for a previously processed fragment and signal processing logic (). The signal processing logic is configured to calculate a similarity measure for the current fragment based on a depth information value candidate defining a reference fragment candidate of a digital reference image, compare the depth information value candidate with the previously selected depth information value (d), apply a weighting function to the calculated similarity measure to obtain a weighted similarity measure for the current fragment based on the comparison, and determine whether to select the depth information value candidate as the depth information value (d) for the current fragment based on the weighted similarity measure of the depth information value candidate.
