Abstract: An apparatus for determining the reliability of shift vectors between two images comprises an image compensation unit for compensating local shifts between a first image and a second image and to obtain a compensated second image. A similarity estimation unit is provided for determining a similarity information by determining one or more similarity measures between said first image and said compensated second image. A vector consistency check device for comparing shift vectors describing the shift between said first image and said second image from different shift estimation directions to obtain a consistency weight information, and a combination unit for combining said similarity information and said consistency weight information to obtain a reliability information describing the reliability of said shift vectors are provided.

Abstract: An imaging system includes an optical unit that captures, from a scene, first images indifferent wavelength ranges when the scene is illuminated with not-structured light and second images of different wavelength ranges when the scene is illuminated with structured light. Thereby an imaging lens unit with longitudinal chromatic aberration is arranged between the scene and an imaging sensor unit. A depth processing unit may generate depth information on the basis of the second images by using optical triangulation. A sharpness processing unit uses the depth information to generate an output image by combining the first images. The optical unit of the imaging, system may be implemented in an endoscope.

Abstract: An imaging system includes an optical unit that captures, from a scene, sets of first images as well as sets of second images. The scene is illuminated with non-structured light when the sets of first images are captured and illuminated with structured light when the sets of second images are captured. A pattern processing unit generates, from the second images, a recovered shadow pattern from a shadow pattern projected onto the scene during illumination with structured light, wherein at least one motion-compensated reference image is used. A depth processing unit obtains depth information on the basis of the recovered shadow pattern.
