Accurate edge reconstruction is critical for depth map super resolution (SR). Therefore, many traditional SR methods utilize maps to guide SR. However, it difficult predict accurate from low (LR) maps. In this paper, we propose a deep guided method, which includes an prediction subnetwork and subnetwork. The takes advantage of the hierarchical representation color images produce maps, promote p...

Monitored 3-Dimensional (3D) video experience can be utilized as “feedback information” to fine tune the service parameters for providing a better service to the demanding 3D service customers. The 3D video experience which includes both video quality and depth perception is influenced by several contextual and content related factors (e.g., ambient illumination condition, content characteristi...

Estimating depth maps is an important step towards 3D reconstruction. In order to compensate the insufficiencies that different image based methods impose, a fusion of multiple information sources for depth estimation is proposed. This article concentrates on obtaining depth information by fusing combined stereo and focus series, which are efficiently gained using a multivariate camera array.

Telemedicine is an ideal solution to low income African countries struggling with health facilities and care providers shortages. This preliminary study explores physician’s level of acceptance and use of telemedicine system in Ethiopia. Data were gathered using a survey questionnaire based on UTAUT. Results show that physicians overall taste to the telemedicine system appears to be favourable....

We present a method to estimate a dense and sharp depth map using multiple cameras. A key issue for obtaining sharp depth map is how to overcome the harmful in uence of occlusion. Thus, we rst propose an occlusion-overcoming strategy which selectively use the depth information from multiple cameras. With a simple selection technique, we resolve the occlusion problem considerably at a slight sac...

This paper presents a global scheme for 3D face reconstruction and face segmentation into a limited number of analytical patches from stereo images. From a depth map, we generate a 3D model of the face which is iteratively deformed under stereo and shape-from-shading constraints as well as differential features. This model enables us to improve the quality of the depth map, from which we perfor...
