Method for enhancing depth maps

摘要

A system for enhancing a depth map associated with a 2D image wherein a face detector analyzes the 2D image to determine a position of a face in the 2D image, the system utilizes the position to derive a depth model; and the depth model is combined with the depth map to generate an enhanced depth map.

1. A system for enhancing a depth map associated with a 2D image, the system comprising:
a face detector arranged to analyze the 2D image to detect a presence of a face in the 2D image and determine a position of the detected face in the 2D image, wherein the system utilizes the position to derive a depth model; the depth model including at least one defined shape added to the depth model at a location corresponding to the determined position in response to detection of the face, the at least one defined shape representative of the detected face; and the at least one defined shape in the depth model including depth information indicative of depth of the face; and wherein the system combines the depth model with the depth map to generate an enhanced depth map by modifying depth information in the depth map at a location corresponding to the at least one defined shape in the depth model using the depth information associated with the at least one defined shape in the depth model.
