A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FUSING DISTANCE DATA FROM A DISTANCE SENSING CAMERA WITH AN IMAGE

摘要

It is inter alia disclosed a method comprising: projecting a distance value and position associated with each of a plurality of pixels of an array of pixel sensors in an image sensor of a time of flight camera system onto a three dimensional world coordinate space as a plurality of depth sample points; and merging pixels from a two dimensional camera image with the plurality of depth sample points of the three dimensional world coordinate space to produce a fused two dimensional depth mapped image.
