Temporally Consistent Depth Map Estimation Using Motion Estimation for 3DTV
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to estimate temporally consistent depth sequence. Our algorithm first calculates the matching cost using left and right views. In order to enhance the temporal consistency, we modify the matching function by adding the temporal weighting function and we perform the motion estimation technique to refer to the previous depths of moving objects. Experimental results have showed that the proposed algorithm improved the temporal consistency of the depth sequence and reduced flickering artifacts in the virtual view while maintaining visual quality.

Spatio-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 کاملEstimation of temporally consistent depth maps using noise removal from video
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). A...
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 کاملGeneration 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 کاملDynamic Depth Recovery from Multiple Synchronized Video Streams
This paper addresses the problem of extracting depth information of non-rigid dynamic 3D scenes from multiple synchronized video streams. Three main issues are discussed in this context: (i) temporally consistent depth estimation, (ii) sharp depth discontinuity estimation around object boundaries, and (iii) enforcement of the global visibility constraint. We present a framework in which the sce...
