  • Efficient scene depth map enhancement for low power devices
    Patent number: 10755426
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises circuitry implementing a depth map enhancer. The depth map enhancer obtains an initial depth map corresponding to a scene and an image of the scene. The depth map enhancer generates a refined depth map corresponding to the scene using an optimizer, the initial depth map and the image. The refined depth map includes estimated depth indicators corresponding to at least a first depth-information region, identified based at least in part on a first criterion, of the initial depth map. Input based on the refined depth map is provided to an image processing application.
    Type: Grant
