Abstract

An image processing method includes: selecting frames from an input image sequence, wherein the selected frames include a first frame and a second frame; generating a polygon mesh including polygons for each of the selected frames using feature points having depth values, among feature points of each of the selected frames; setting a search range of a corresponding pixel of the second frame corresponding to a pixel of the first frame based on the polygon mesh; and estimating a depth value of the pixel of the first frame by matching the pixel of the first frame and the corresponding pixel based on the search range.
