Claim One:
1. A method of merging a plurality of disparity maps, comprising: calculating a plurality of disparity maps each from images captured by another of a plurality of pairs of image sensors having stereoscopic fields of view (SFOVs) with at least one overlapping portion, said SFOVs covering a scene with a plurality of objects; identifying at least one of said plurality of objects in said at least one overlapping portion, said at least one object being mapped in each said disparity map; calculating accuracy of disparity values depicting said object in each said disparity map; merging depth data from said plurality of disparity maps according to said accuracy so as to provide a combined depth map wherein disparity values of said object are calculated according to one of said plurality of disparity maps; and outputting said depth data.
