  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a direct depth map acquisition method for the convergence camera array as well as the parallel camera array. The conventional methods perform image rectification to reduce complexity and improve accuarcy. However, image rectification may lead to unwanted consequences for the convergence camera array. Thus, the proposed method excludes image rectification and directly extracts depth values using the epipolar constraint. In order to acquire a more accurate depth map, occlusion detection and handling processes are added. Reasonable depth values are assigned to the obtained occlusion region by the distance and color differences from neighboring pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed method has fewer limitations than the conventional methods and generates more accurate depth maps stably.
