1. A method for determining a depth map from a stereo image pair, wherein a disparity for a pixel is determined from a discrete quantity of predefined disparity values, the predefined disparity values are distributed over an entire predefined disparity value range in a distribution that has at least two different values of distances between respective adjacent disparity values among the predefined disparity values, and the distances between the respective adjacent disparity values are smaller in a far range and larger in a close range.
