UPSAMPLING LOW TEMPORAL RESOLUTION DEPTH MAPS

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for upsampling low temporal resolution depth maps. This upsampling is performed by obtaining a stereo pair of images of a scene captured at a first timepoint, generating a first depth map of the scene for the first timepoint by performing stereo matching on the stereo pair of images, obtaining a subsequent stereo pair of images captured at a subsequent timepoint to the first timepoint, and generating a subsequent depth map that corresponds to the subsequent timepoint by applying an edge-preserving filter using the first depth map without performing stereo matching on the subsequent stereo pair of images.
