METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE MATCHNG

摘要

A method and an apparatus for matching images are provided. An image matching apparatus can determine a range of a depth value of a pixel included in images to be processed, assign multiple depth candidate values to a pixel, reassign multiple depth candidate values to a pixel to be processed, based on the depth candidate values assigned to the pixel and multiple depth candidate values assigned to a pixel adjacent to the pixel to be processed, determine any one among the reassigned depth candidate values to be a depth value of the pixel to be processed, and match the pixel to be processed and a pixel in another image corresponding to the determined depth value.
