Abstract

A method for analyzing related images corresponding system and vehicle including such system as well as a computer program product for executing the method. The method comprises obtaining at least a first and a second image, defining a pixel patch in the first image for which a correlation shall be calculated, calculating matching cost values between each pixel of the pixel patch in the first image and its corresponding pixel in each of a plurality of pixel patches in the second image, wherein the pixel patches in the second image differ in position in the second image and include the pixel patch with a target position, aggregating the matching cost values of those corresponding pixels of all patches in the second image which match best to generate an aggregation window associated with the target position, and producing a signal including information on the target position.
