DEPTH MAP ENHANCEMENT

摘要

The description relates to depth images and obtaining higher resolution depth images through depth dependent measurement modeling. One example can receive a set of depth images of a scene captured by a depth camera. The example can obtain a depth dependent pixel averaging function for the depth camera. The example can also generate a high resolution depth image of the scene from the set of depth images utilizing the depth dependent pixel averaging function.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
positioning a depth camera relative to a scene that has depth discontinuities; the depth camera comprising sensors that capture pixels of the scene; capturing an image of the scene with the depth camera; incrementally moving the depth camera parallel to the scene a sub-pixel distance and capturing an additional image; repeating the incrementally moving and the capturing an additional image to capture further images so that the depth camera captures the depth discontinuities; and, identifying a depth dependent pixel averaging function of the depth camera from the image, the additional image, and the further images.
