This paper presents a new depth estimation method for multiview systems with arbitrary camera locations. The method exploits the graph cuts method, where vertices of the graph represent segments used for controlling the trade-off between the quality of depth maps and the time of estimation, while preserving the original resolution of a depth map. Moreover, the inter-view consistency of the depth maps,...
In this paper, we present an efficient method to accelerate the depth estimation for the RGB-D camera. Our approach can obtain more depth information and extend the measurement range in two steps. First, we estimate the depth of positions that are too far away and irrelevant to any objects or plans using the color camera and a gyroscope. To adapt to any situations and angels, we use a virtual plane...
This paper presents the temporal enhancement of the graph-based depth estimation method, designed for multiview systems with arbitrarily located cameras. The primary goal of the proposed enhancement is to increase the quality of estimated depth maps and simultaneously decrease the time of estimation. The method consists of two stages: the temporal enhancement of segmentation required in used depth...
This paper presents an innovative technique for 3D depth estimation from a single holoscopic 3D image (H3D). The image is captured with a single aperture holoscopic 3D camera, which mimics a fly's eye technique to acquire an optical 3D model of a true 3D scene. The proposed method works by extracting of optimum viewpoints images from a H3D image and it uses the shift and integration function in up-sampling...

Inferring scene depth from a single monocular image is an essential component in several computer vision applications such as 3D modeling and robotics. This process is an ill-posed problem. To tackle this challenging problem, previous efforts have been focusing on exploiting only global or local depth aware properties. We propose a model that incorporates both of them to obtain significantly more...
Scene flow estimation jointly recovers dense scene structure and motion from at least two pairs of stereo images, thus generalizing classical disparity and optical flow estimation. Such a complete description of the scene has many uses in the field of automated driving such as dynamic traffic object detection or infrastructure element detection. Estimation of the structure and motion of each scene...
2D to 3D video conversion has become a popular manner to produce 3D contents, in which the key task is to estimate the depth for the images. However, the main limitation of conventional motion-based depth propagation methods is that they are susceptible to inaccurate motion estimation and occlusion. To address this problem, we propose a two-stage structure-aware depth propagation method for semi-automatic...
Conventional stereo matching or depth estimation algorithms always provide incomplete disparity map. These pixels without depth estimation in the map are named depth gaps. Weak texture and occluded areas are main source of depth gaps. We propose a novel method to assign good depth estimation on the areas above. Our algorithm combines state-of-art superpixel segmentation approach and linear filter...

Moreover, the FPGA-based implementations of this technique are also reported. The idea of this technique is to use small-block matching and exploit the recently estimated disparity values in order to enhance spatial consistency of the output disparity map...
This paper presents an approach for dense depth estimation taking the input of a trinocular stereo. The approach works with a global energy minimization framework based on Markov Random Field models. The occlusion and spatial consistency constraints are explicitly considered in an iterative fashion. Depth maps are initialized by belief propagation using AD-Census metric, and then refined by Mean Shift...
Light field (LF), a promising representation to describe the visual appearance of a scene, implicitly captures 3D scene geometry. Inspired by this, we exploit the special linear structure of epipolar plane image (EPI) and propose a novel framework for depth estimation for 4D LF. Our approach estimates disparities through locating the optimal slope of each line segmentation on EPIs, which are projected...

For the 3D reconstruction, the extraction of depth cues is one of the most important contents. Therefore, we proposed a least-square depth estimation method based on multi-scale texture features, which can better describe...
Depth estimation is a common task in stereo vision system and usually requires a high computational effort. High resolution images offer more details compared to low resolution images and high resolution depth maps are necessary to provide a good image quality on autostereoscopic displays which deliver stereo content without the need for 3D glasses. In this paper, a FPGA architecture for depth estimation...

Video is then presented to the user using special glasses or displays. Research work in this area has focused on topics ranging from designing compression techniques to developing new 3D displays. In...
