Abstract: A writing implement has a casing body to which a grip member is connected, which is turn provided with a writing tip. The writing implement further has a protective cap. The casing body has an externally threaded portion for screwing down the protective cap into a writing position and an internally threaded portion to be connected to the grip member. An intermediate piece having a length LZS is used to extend a length of the writing implement between the casing body and the grip member, wherein the intermediate piece is connectable to the casing body and to the grip member. As a result, a writing implement is obtained by means of which a handling of the writing implement for a user can be improved with low effort. Another design of a writing implement has a casing body, with a respective writing tip being connected to each of its two sides, wherein the writing implement has two interconnected grip members, with each of the grip members being provided with a respective one of the writing tips.

Abstract: A better basis for a further processing such as virtual view rendering, in form of a disparity map is achieved. To this end, the disparity map generation is done in two separate steps, namely the generation of two depth/disparity map estimates based on two different pairs of views of the scene in a manner independent from each other, with then comparing both depth/disparity map estimates so as to obtain a reliability measure for one or both of the depth/disparity map estimates.
