Abstract

In an example embodiment, a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method includes facilitating receipt of a first image and a second image of a scene comprising one or more objects. The method includes detecting the objects in the first image by detecting object point of the objects in the first image. The method includes detecting the object points of the objects in the second image based on detection of the object points of the objects in the first image. Detection of an object point in the second image that corresponds to an object point of the first image comprises searching for the object point on an epipolar line in the second image corresponding to the object point of the first image. The method includes determining disparity values between the objects points in the first image and the object points in the second image.
