Abstract:
A technique for digital stereo imaging is provided. According to an example embodiment, the technique comprises facilitating stereo image capturing means for capturing image data, said stereo image capturing means comprising a first imaging subsystem that comprises a first image sensor arranged to receive light via a first lens and a second imaging subsystem that comprises a second image sensor arranged to receive light via a second lens, wherein said first and second imaging subsystems are arranged such that the optical axes of said first and second lenses are in parallel to each other; reading pixel values from respective light-sensitive areas of said first and second image sensors, comprising reading pixel values for a first image from a first readout area on the first image sensor, reading pixel values for a second image from a second readout area on the second image sensor, and reading pixel values for support data from at least one portion of the light-sensitive area adjacent to the respective readout area on at least one of the first and second image sensors; and deriving disparity information pertaining to said first and second images on basis of said pixel values read for the first image, for the second image and for said support data.
