Abstract
A method for refining a disparity/motion estimation map of an image at image regions a user has marked, including filtering the image along a mark set by the user, binarizing the filtered image to generate a binarized map of the filtered image, determining a binary step within the binarized map indicating a boundary of an object, and refining the disparity/motion estimation map on the basis of the determined binary step.
