Claim 13:
14. A stereo matching method, the method comprising:
extracting a first feature vector of a reference pixel included in a first view image and respective second feature vectors of each of candidate pixels included in a second view image using a neural network model-based feature extractor; and
determining a pixel corresponding to the reference pixel among the candidate pixels based on the first feature vector and the second feature vectors obtained from the neural network model-based feature extractor, wherein determining comprises:
determining an initial matching cost between the reference pixel and a current candidate pixel;
adjusting the initial matching cost based on matching cost information associated with another reference pixel adjacent to the reference pixel; and
determining the pixel corresponding to the reference pixel among the candidate pixels based on the respective matching costs.
