ABSTRACT:
An image processing method and apparatus is disclosed which can produce parallax data between a plurality of image data with a high degree of accuracy. Probability density functions are updated successively, and a corresponding relationship which minimizes the energy in each of the probability density functions is specified. Then, that one of the probability density functions which finally minimizes the energy and parallax data corresponding to the correspondence relationship are specified.
