By converting the {TOF-}depth measurements to stereo disparities the correspondence between 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. Also in the same framework a method is developed to initialize 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 sensor fusion." }
