Provided is a stereo matching method and apparatus. A stereo matching method includes acquiring detection information based on an edge detection of a first image, determining an edge line and a feature point based on the detection information, sampling a reference pixel from the edge line and the feature point, determining a polygon with the reference pixel as a vertex, predicting a search range comprising a disparity of a pixel within the polygon based on a disparity of the reference pixel, and performing stereo matching of the pixel based on the search range.
