Abstract

A method and a device are provided for generating an image. The method comprises the steps of: (i) providing information that relates to an image of a single target captured by at least two image capturing devices; (ii) storing the information provided in at least two input buffers; (iii) sampling the stored information and storing the sampled information at at least two output line buffers, each corresponding to a different image resolution; (iv) processing the sampled information that had been stored at the at least two output line buffers in accordance with pre-defined disparity related information, wherein the pre-defined disparity related information is associated with a respective one of the at least two image capturing devices that had captured the information being currently processed; and (v) retrieving information from the at least two output line buffers and storing the retrieved information at a hybrid row buffer, for generating the image.
