Abstract

A disparity determination method and apparatus are provided. The disparity determination method includes receiving first signals of an event from a first sensor disposed at a first location and second signals of the event from a second sensor disposed at a second location that is different than the first location, and extracting a movement direction of the event, based on at least one among the first signals and the second signals. The disparity determination method further includes determining a disparity between the first sensor and the second sensor, based on the movement direction, a difference between times at which the event is sensed by corresponding pixels in the first sensor, and a difference between times at which the event is sensed by corresponding pixels in the first sensor and the second sensor.
