Abstract
An apparatus and corresponding method are provided to match images and include assigning depth candidate values to a pixel in a first image, and reassigning third depth candidate values to a first pixel in the first image based on first depth candidate values assigned to the first pixel and second depth candidate values assigned to a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel. The apparatus and method also include determining one of the third depth candidate values to be a depth value of the first pixel, and matching the first pixel and a third pixel in a second image corresponding to the determined depth value of the first pixel.
