Abstract: Due to the factors such as lens distortion and camera misalignment, stereoscopic image pairs often contain vertical disparities. Introduced herein is a method and apparatus that determine and correct vertical disparities in stereoscopic image pairs using an optical flow map. Instead of discarding vertical motion vectors of the optical flow map, the introduced concept extracts and analyzes the vertical motion vectors from the optical flow map and vertically aligns the images using the vertical disparity determined from the vertical motion vectors. The introduced concept recognizes that although not apparent, vertical motion does exist in stereoscopic images and can be used to correct the vertical disparity in stereoscopic images.
