  • Use of inpainting techniques for image correction
    Patent number: 9256926
    Abstract: A method of processing an image signal comprising image and depth information is provided. The method is configured to perform segmentation on an image based on depth/disparity information present in the image signal comprising said image, and subsequently inpaint background for correction of the errors in the image around the foreground objects into a region that extends beyond the segment boundary of the foreground object and/or inpaint foreground for correction of errors in the image into a region that extends inside the segment boundary of the foreground object. In this way compression and other artifacts may be reduced.

  • System and method for motion estimation using image depth information
    Patent number: 8515134
    Abstract: A system and method for motion estimation involves obtaining input image frames, where the input image frames correspond to different instances in time, and performing motion estimation on the input image frames using depth information from the input image frames, where the depth information from an input image frame indicates how far a pixel in the input image frame is located from a surface of a three dimensional space.
