1. A system comprising:
- means for generating a disparity map based on a depth map;
means for determining accuracy of pixels in the depth map, wherein the determining means identifies the pixels as either accurate or inaccurate based on a confidence map and the disparity map; and
means for providing an adjusted depth map, wherein the providing means adjusts inaccurate pixels of the depth map using a cost function associated with the inaccurate pixels.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the exemplary embodiments may include, for example, means for generating a disparity map based on a depth map, means for determining accuracy of pixels in the depth map where the determining means identifies the pixels as either accurate or inaccurate based on a confidence map and the disparity map, and means for providing an adjusted depth map where the providing means adjusts inaccurate pixels of the depth map using a cost function associated with the inaccurate pixels. Other embodiments are disclosed.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer instructions to:
-
generate three-dimensional media content based on images captured by at least one vision camera and an adjusted depth map, wherein the adjusted depth map is based on adjustments to inaccurate pixels in a depth map using at least one of a graph-cut analysis or a belief-propagation analysis; and present the three-dimensional media content. - View Dependent Claims (11)
