Abstract
An apparatus and method estimate disparities of pixels in a frame. In order to acquire temporally-consistent disparity maps it is determined whether to enforce a temporal consistency with respect to pixels. In order to determine whether to enforce the temporal consistency, a texture, motion, or a matched motion in the frame may be detected or estimated. A disparity of a pixel where the temporal consistency is enforced may be calculated based on a disparity of a corresponding pixel in a previous frame.
