VERFAHREN, VORRICHTUNG UND SYSTEM ZUR VERARBEITUNG VON TIEFENBEZOGENEN INFORMATIONEN

摘要

The invention relates to a method, apparatus and system for processing first depth-related information associated with an image sequence. The method of processing comprises mapping first depth-related information of respective images of a shot of the image sequence on corresponding second depth-related information using a first estimate of a characteristic of the distribution of first depth-related information associated with at least one image from the shot, the mapping adapting the first depth-related information by enhancing the dynamic range of a range of interest of first depth-related information defined at least in part by the first estimate, and the amount of variation in the mapping for respective images in temporal proximity in the shot being limited.
