By mapping the {TOF-}depth measurements to stereo disparities, the correspondence between the images from a fast {TOF-}camera and standard high resolution camera pair are found, so the {TOF} depth measurements can be linked to the image pairs. In the same framework, a method is developed to initialise and constrain a hierarchical stereo matching algorithm. It is shown that in this way, higher spatial resolution is obtained than by only using the {TOF} camera and higher quality dense stereo disparity maps are the results of this data fusion." }
