Claim One:
1. A system for robust disparity estimation in the presence of significant intensity variations for camera arrays, comprising: a camera array; a memory configured to store imaging data; and a processor coupled to the memory and the camera array, the processor to: obtain a plurality of images from the camera array; generate a sequence of color matched images, wherein the sequence includes each pair of images in the plurality of images and are generated via a color matching algorithm based on features in an image histogram; calculate a disparity point for a pixel of the plurality of images based on the sequence of color matched images, wherein the disparity point is a measure of a difference in location between the pixel in a first image and the pixel in a second image in the sequence of color matched image pairs, and the disparity is estimated from a remaining camera in response to pixels of a reference camera being saturated.
