Abstract
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for correcting a disparity map. The apparatus includes a disparity map area setting unit, a pose estimation unit, and a disparity map correction unit. The apparatus removes the noise of the disparity map attributable to stereo matching and also fills in holes attributable to occlusion using information about the depth of a 3-dimensional (3D) model produced in a preceding frame of a current frame, thereby improving a disparity map and depth performance and providing high-accuracy depth information to an application to be used.
