Kinect depth restoration via energy minimization with TV21 regularization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depth maps generated by Kinect cameras often contain a significant amount of missing pixels and strong noise, limiting their usability in many computer vision applications. We present a new energy minimization method to fill the missing regions and remove noise in a depth map, by exploiting the strong correlation between color and depth values in local image neighborhoods. To preserve sharp edges and remove noise from the depth map, we propose to add a TV 21 regularization term into the energy function. Finally, we show how to effectively minimize the total energy using an alternating optimization approach. Experimental results show that the propose method outperforms commonly-used depth inpainting approaches.

Restoration of images degraded by signal-dependent noise based on energy minimization: an empirical study
Most energy minimization-based restoration methods are developed for signal-independent Gaussian noise. The assumption of Gaussian noise distribution leads to a quadratic data fidelity term, which is appealing in optimization. When an image is acquired with a photon counting device, it contains signal-dependent Poisson or mixed Poisson–Gaussian noise. We quantify the loss in performance that oc...
متن کاملRestoration of Matrix Fields by SOCP
Wherever anisotropic behaviour in physical measurements or models is encountered matrices provide adequate means to describe this anisotropy. Prominent examples are the di usion tensor magnetic resonance imaging in medical imaging or the stress tensor in civil engineering. As most measured data these matrix-valued data are also polluted by noise and require restoration. The restoration of scala...
متن کاملDense Scene Flow Based on Depth and Multi-channel Bilateral Filter
There is close relationship between depth information and scene flow. However, it’s not fully utilized in most of scene flow estimators. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate scene flow with monocular appearance images and corresponding depth images. We combine a global energy optimization and a bilateral filter into a two-step framework. Occluded pixels are detected by the consistency...
متن کاملAn Efficient Primal-Dual Method for L1TV Image Restoration
Image restoration based on an `-data-fitting term and edge preserving total variation regularization is considered. The associated non-smooth energy minimization problem is handled by utilizing Fenchel-duality and dual regularization techniques. The latter guarantee uniqueness of the dual solution and an efficient way for reconstructing a primal solution, i.e. the restored image, from a dual so...
متن کاملTitle Efficient Reconstruction of Piecewise Constant Images Using Nonsmooth Nonconvex Minimization
We consider the restoration of piecewise constant images where the number of the regions and their values are not fixed in advance, with a good difference of piecewise constant values between neighboring regions, from noisy data obtained at the output of a linear operator (e.g., a blurring kernel or a Radon transform). Thus we also address the generic problem of unsupervised segmentation in the...
