1. A method for handling occlusion in stereo images, wherein the stereo image includes occluded pixels and visible pixels comprising for each stereo image: determining, for the occluded pixels, initial disparity values and support for the initial disparity values using an initial support function, an occlusion map and disparities of the visible pixels neighboring the occluded pixels in the stereo images; and determining, for the occluded pixels, final disparity values and support for the final disparity values using the initial disparity values, a final support function and a normalization function in an iterative support-and-decision process.
