Abstract
Techniques are provided for calculating temporally coherent disparity values for pixels in a sequence of image frames. An example method may include calculating initial spatial disparity costs between a pixel of a first image frame from a reference camera and pixels from an image frame from a secondary camera. The method may also include estimating a motion vector for the pixel of the first reference camera image frame to a corresponding pixel from a second reference camera image frame. The method may further include calculating a confidence value for the estimated motion vector based on a measure of similarity between the colors of the pixels of the first and second image frames from the reference camera. The method may further include calculating temporally coherent disparity costs based on the initial spatial disparity costs weighted by the confidence value and selecting a disparity value based on those costs.
