In a method of processing first and second stereo pairs of images (I<SB>L</SB>, I<SB>R</SB>; I<SB>L</SB>', I<SB>R</SB>') of an object (3), imaged by a stereo rig, a first ordered distortion map (D-MAP 1) of the local geometric transformations required to map regions of one image (I<SB>L</SB>) of the first pair onto the corresponding regions of the other image (I<SB>R</SB>) of that first pair and a second distortion map (D-MAP 2) of the local geometric transformations required to map regions of one image (I<SB>L</SB>') of the second pair onto the corresponding regions of the other image (I<SB>R</SB>') of that second pair are generated. At least some regions of the first and second distortion maps are correlated to register at least one image (I<SB>L</SB>) of the first stereo pair with at least one image (I<SB>L</SB>') of the second stereo pair. Gruen's algorithm can be used to generate the distortion maps and for the correlation. |
