Abstract
A 3D stereoscopic image processing system comprises a receiver unit and an image processing unit. The receiver unit is adapted to receive a pair of stereoscopic images. The image processing unit is adapted to compute a first depth map from the pair of stereoscopic images, determine extreme depth values from a window selected in the depth map, determine a filter map based on the extreme depth values, and compute a second depth map by combining the filter map with the first depth map. In other embodiments, a method of processing stereoscopic images is provided, comprising computing a first depth map from a pair of stereoscopic images, generating a filter map associated with the first depth map, and combining the first depth map with the filter map to derive a second depth map.
