Abstract
A method is provided for reconstructing a three dimensional image, comprising: providing a pair of stereoscopic images captured by two image capturing devices; retrieving disparity data from the pair of stereoscopic images; using retrieved disparity data to determine contours of an object present in the pair of the stereoscopic images captured; selecting a pixel belonging to that object; establishing a search area at the vicinity of the selected pixel; determining values for various disparity candidates, wherein the determined values correspond to one or more chosen hypothesis associated with the search area; testing the one or more chosen hypothesis and selecting an hypothesis which best fits the selected pixel and its neighboring pixels; executing a stereo matching algorithm using data retrieved from the captured images while using the values of disparity candidates that correspond to the chosen hypothesis; and reconstructing the three dimensional image based on the results obtained.
