A New Method for Depth Enhancement
With depth maps an integral component of 3D video, commercial applications of an improved method to determine depth. UCSD inventors have come up with an algorithm that reduces the typical depth map deficiencies, while also avoiding introducing a restrictive dependence on the selection of the filter size. A prototype has been developed and tested with the Middlebury datasets (http://vision.middlebury.edu/stereo/) to great success.

Usefulness: SAMPLING-BASED MULTI-LATERAL FILTER METHOD FOR DEPTH MAP ENHANCEMENT AND CODEC | PROCÉDÉ DE FILTRAGE MULTILATÉRAL BASÉ SUR UN ÉCHANTILLONNAGE POUR L'AMÉLIORATION D'UNE CARTE DE PROFONDEUR, ET CODEC
Summary: Method for enhancing noisy or low-resolution image depth map for use in video capture and processing device for video and depth representation and video encoding and decoding and in application such as viewing synthesis for multi-view video, human computer interaction, augmented reality and three-dimensional scene reconstruction.
Novelty: Method for enhancing noisy or low-resolution image depth map for use in Video capture and processing device, involves conducting multi-later filtering on adjusted depth map to produce enhanced depth map
