As a way to represent3D information, depth maps have been widely used in computer vision systems. However, depth maps captured by different sensors, such as lidar, TOF camera, Kinect, are not perfect. They may suffer from defects such as low resolution, unknown regions, and noise. This thesis researches on how to get a high-quality depth map from a defective depth map based on digital image processing algorithms. This task is referred to as the depth map enhancement.
In this thesis, algorithms combine t...
