1. A method to facilitate processing a stereoscopic image comprising a first and second image to facilitate computing a depth/disparity image, comprising: computing, by a processor, a disparity map for the first image of the stereoscopic image using predicted occlusion information for the first image; computing, by the processor, a first disparity map for the second image of the stereoscopic image by mapping contents of the disparity map for the first image of the stereoscopic image to the second image of the stereoscopic image to determine predicted occlusion information for the second image of the stereoscopic image; determining, by the processor, a second disparity map for the second image of the stereoscopic image using the predicted occlusion information for the second image of the stereoscopic image; merging, by the processor, the first and second disparity maps for the second image of the stereoscopic image to generate a resultant disparity map for just the second image of the stereoscopic image.
