A new discontinuity adaptive depth upsampling method is proposed in order to obtain a high-resolution depth map. The proposed method adaptively employs both the local minimum filter and the joint bilateral filter according to the variance of the depth map. Thus, it can reduce the over-blurred depth regions along the depth discontinuities. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of ...

This paper reviews the recent progresses of the depth map generation for dynamic scene and its corresponding computational models. This paper mainly covers the homogeneous ambiguity models in depth sensing, resolution models in depth processing, and consistency models in depth optimization. We also summarize the future work in the depth map generation.

An efficient system that upsamples depth map captured by Microsoft Kinect while jointly reducing the effect of noise is presented. The upsampling is carried by detecting and exploiting the piecewise locally planar structures of the downsampled depth map, based on corresponding high-resolution RGB image. The amount of noise is reduced by accumulating the downsampled data simultaneously. By benef...
