Various embodiments are provided which relate to the field of image signal processing, specifically relating to the generation of a depth-view image of a scene from a set of input images of a scene taken at different cameras of a multi-view imaging system. A method comprises obtaining a frame of an image of a scene and a frame of a depth map regarding the frame of the image. A minimum depth and a maximum depth of the scene and a number of depth layers for the depth map are determined. Pixels of the image are projected to the depth layers to obtain projected pixels on the depth layers; and cost values for the projected pixels are determined. The cost values are filtered and a filtered cost value is selected from a layer to obtain a depth value of a pixel of an estimated depth map.
