1. A machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- determining an accuracy of pixels in a depth map by identifying pixels as either accurate or inaccurate based on a confidence map and a disparity map;
adjusting the depth map by adjusting pixels identified as inaccurate pixels in the depth map to generate an adjusted depth map; and
generating media content according to images captured by a camera and the adjusted depth map.

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.
