Abstract:
1. An apparatus for determining a disparity map comprising a plurality of disparity map values, based on at least two images, wherein the apparatus comprises: at least two processing units, wherein each of the at least two processing units comprises: a pixel recursion unit for determining a disparity value as a pixel recursion disparity candidate based on a plurality of pixel values of the at least two images, and a selector, configured to select a selected disparity candidate to determine at least one of the disparity map values of the disparity map, wherein the selector is adapted to select the selected disparity candidate from a candidate group assigned to the selector, wherein the candidate group assigned to the selector comprises the pixel recursion disparity candidate, a second disparity candidate and a third disparity candidate, and wherein the selector is adapted to select the selected disparity candidate independently from a different selector of a different processing unit of the at least two processing units.
