Abstract
Stereoscopic target region filling techniques are described. Techniques are described in which stereo consistency is promoted between target regions, such as by sharing information during computation. Techniques are also described in which target regions of respective disparity maps are completed to promote consistency between the disparity maps. This estimated disparity may then be used as a guide to completion of a missing texture in the target region. Techniques are further described in which cross-image searching and matching is employed by leveraging a plurality of images. This may including giving preference to matches with cross-image consistency to promote consistency, thereby enforcing stereo consistency between stereo images when applicable.
