Estimation of temporally consistent depth maps using noise removal from video
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel approach to problem of temporal consistency. To tackle temporal inconsistency we propose to eliminate its cause. Depth map fluctuations are caused by noise, mainly temporal. We propose to employ noise reduction on video before depth estimation. Each view of a multi-view video sequence, is independently denoised in time and then feed to a depth estimation algorithm (Fig. 1). As we show later, depth maps obtained in such way are more consistent in time.

Generation of Temporally Consistent Depth Maps Using Nosie Removal from Video
This paper presents a novel approach for providing depth maps that are temporally consistent. Temporal consistency is attained by noise removal from video. Presented approach was evaluated with use of a simple noise reduction technique and state-of-the-are depth estimation algorithm. Experiments on standard multi-view test video sequences have been performed and yielded both subjective and obje...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Segmentation with Depth-Inferred Videos of Static Scenes
Extracting spatio-temporally consistent segments from a video sequence is a challenging problem due to the complexity of color, motion and occlusions. Most existing spatio-temporal segmentation approaches rely on pairwise motion estimation, which have inherent difficulties in handling large displacement with significant occlusions. This paper presents a novel spatio-temporal segmentation method...
متن کاملMultiview video depth estimation with spatial-temporal consistency
In this paper, we present an approach to recover both spatially and temporally consistent depth maps from multiview synchronized and calibrated video streams. Depth maps are initialized by combining left-right view matching and color based segmentation. Then the color constancy and spatial coherence are integrated into the optimization framework in order to guarantee the spatial consistency at ...
متن کاملDenoising Time-of-flight Depth Maps Using Temporal Median Filter
In many types of 3D cameras, The Time-of-Flight (TOF) cameras have the advantages of simplicity for use and lower price for general public. The TOF cameras can obtain depth maps at video speed. However, the TOF cameras suffer from low resolution and high random noise. In this paper, we propose methods to reduce the random noise in depth maps captured by the TOF cameras. For each point in the no...
متن کاملA memory-efficient and time-consistent filtering of depth map sequences
̳View plus depth‘ is a 3D video representation where a single color video channel is augmented with per-pixel depth information in the form of gray-scale video sequence. This representation is a good candidate for 3D video delivery applications, as it is display agnostic and allows for some parallax adjustments. However, the quality of the associated depth is an issue, as the depth channel is us...
