New method enhances depth image upsampling using anisotropic diffusion

Researchers have developed a new method for upsampling depth images, a technique that enhances the resolution of depth data captured by modern cameras like Kinect and Time-of-Flight sensors. This approach formulates a convex optimization problem that utilizes an anisotropic diffusion tensor derived from a high-resolution intensity image to guide the upsampling process. The method, implemented via a parallelized primal-dual algorithm, achieves real-time performance and surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in both speed and accuracy, as demonstrated on the Middlebury 2007 datasets.

    Image Guided Depth Upsampling using Anisotropic Total Generalized Variation

    In this work we present a novel method for the challenging problem of depth image upsampling. Modern depth cameras such as Kinect or Time of Flight cameras deliver dense, high quality depth measurements but are limited in their lateral resolution. To overcome this limitation we f…
