Abstract
A temporally consistent belief propagation system includes a disparity map buffer that provides a disparity map of a previous time; a belief propagation unit that generates an energy function according to a first image of a present time, a second image of the present time, a first image of the previous time and the disparity map of the previous time; and a disparity generating unit that generates a disparity map of the present time according to the energy function.
