Claim:
1. A method to determine a disparity associated with one or more textured regions of a plurality of images, comprising the steps of: segmenting one or more textured regions from a first and second image of a first plurality of images into their color primitives, at least two of the one or more segmented textured regions being discontinuous in space resulting in at least two regions, each having two or more distinct portions associated therewith; determining one or more changes in the one or more segmented textured regions over time; calculating a disparity between the first and second images only for one or more of the segmented textured regions determined to have one or more changes therein in accordance with the segmented color primitives; and combining two or more of the one or more segmented textured regions to define a single texture in accordance with the calculated disparity and the determined changes over time of the one or more segmented textured regions.
