SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HANDLING OCCLUSION IN STEREO IMAGING, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR RECORDING OCCLUSION HANDLING ALGORITHM

摘要

PURPOSE: A system and a method for handling occlusion in stereo imaging, and a computer-readable medium for recording an occlusion handling algorithm are provided to display the shape of an object clearly by detecting, compensating and matching an occlusion region and a solid color region. CONSTITUTION: A parallax estimation unit(140) compares pixels within an over-segment of over-split reference and response image to the parallax between pixels, and compares the pixels within the under-segment of a low-split reference and response image to estimate the parallax between the pixels. An occlusion detection unit(150) warps the pixels of the reference and response images based on the parallax in order to detect occlusion pixels which are not matched. A stereoscopic matching unit(160) implements energy terms for processing the occlusion pixels and a solid color region in order to perform stereoscopic matching.
