Two datasets are selected for each pixel based on the maximum value which is calculated using Laplacian operator. Then linear regression model is used to find lines that approximate these datasets. The best fit lines are found using least squares method. After approximating the two lines, their intersection point is calculated, and weights are assigned to calculate the new value for the depth map. The proposed method is compared with four depth estimation algorithms. Six different objects are selected for testing the proposed method. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-80052091881&doi=10.1002%2fima.20274&partnerID=40&md5=cc45dc47e6685570ecf9e4e3bbbb3dbd id_number: 10.1002/ima.20274 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology volume: 21 number: 3 pagerange: 241-246 refereed: TRUE issn: 08999457 citation: Malik, A.S. and Song, T.L. and Choi, T.-S.
