Abstract:
Techniques are described for generating a distance map (e.g., a map of disparity, depth or other distance values) for image elements (e.g., pixels) of an image capture device. The distance map is generated based on an initial distance map (obtained, e.g., using a block or code matching algorithm) and a segmentation map (obtained using a segmentation algorithm). In some instances, the resulting distance map can be less sparse than the initial distance map, can contain more accurate distance values, and can be sufficiently fast for real-time or near real-time applications. The resulting distance map can be converted, for example, to a color-coded distance map of a scene that is presented on a display device.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1  including:\n acquiring a first image of the scene using a first stereo image sensor and acquiring a second image of the scene using a second stereo image sensor; \n applying the matching algorithm using the first and second images; \n acquiring a third image of the scene using a third image sensor; and \n applying the segmentation algorithm using the third image.
