Abstract
A system for producing a depth map can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a candidate depth production module and a depth map production module. The candidate depth production module can include instructions that cause the processor to: (1) identify, in a first image, an epipolar line associated with a pixel in a second image and (2) sample, from a first image feature set, a set of candidate depths for pixels along the epipolar line. The depth map production module can include instructions that cause the processor to: (1) determine a similarity measure between a feature, from a second image feature set, and a member of the set and (2) produce, from the second image, the depth map with a depth for the pixel being a depth associated with a member, of the set, having a greatest similarity measure.
