Abstract

In an example embodiment a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method includes facilitating receipt of a first and a second image. A first and a second aggregated cost volume associated with pixels of the first and the second images are determined for a plurality of disparity values. A first and a second disparity maps are generated based on the first and the second aggregated cost volume. A confidence map for disparity values of the first image is generated based on the first aggregated cost volume. One or more infinity regions in the first image are determined based on a number of confident pixels in color segments of the first image. A third disparity map is generated by determining filtered disparity values for the pixels of the first image where filtered disparity values for pixels of the one or more infinity regions are a pre-defined disparity value.
