APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING BOUNDARY PART OF DEPTH IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for processing the boundary part of a depth image, which is capable of compensating for a depth value of the boundary part of a depth image using a distance weighting, a depth weighting and a direction weighting to process the boundary part. The apparatus of the present invention comprises: a distance weighting calculator for calculating a distance weighting of a specific pixel such that the distance weighting becomes greater as a distance between the boundary part and the specific pixel adjacent to the boundary part increases; and a boundary processing unit for compensating for a depth value of a target pixel to be compensated among pixels of the boundary part using the distance weighting calculated by the distance weighting calculator to process the boundary part of the depth image.
