Abstract
A fusion method and a fusion system for multiple depth information are provided. A first depth information is obtained by a first image capturing module. A second depth information is obtained by a second image capturing module. Through a non-linear transformation, the first depth information is transformed into a first transformation information, and the second depth information is processed according to the first transformation information to generate a transformed information; or the first depth information and the second depth information are merged to be a fusion information, which is then transformed into the transformed information through the nonlinear transformation.
Claims18
A fusion method for multiple depth information, comprising:
- obtaining a first depth information by a first image capturing module;
- obtaining a second depth information by a second image capturing module;
- and
- through a non-linear transformation, transforming the first depth information into a first transformation information and processing the second depth information according to the first transformation information to generate a transformed information;
- or, merging the first depth information obtained by the first image capturing module and the second depth information obtained by the second image capturing module to be a fusion information, and then transforming the fusion information into the transformed information through the non-linear transformation;
- wherein through the non-linear transform, a number of bits of the fused depth information or the transformed information is equal to or less than a number of bits of the first depth information.
A fusion system for multiple depth information, comprising:
- a first image capturing module;
- a second image capturing module;
- a depth generation unit used to obtain a first depth information using a first image capturing module and to obtain a second depth information using a second image capturing module;
- and
- a fusion unit used to transform the first depth information into a first transformation information through a non-linear transformation and process the second depth information according to the first transformation information to generate a transformed information;
- or, used to merge the first depth information obtained by the first image capturing module and the second depth information obtained by the second image capturing module to be a fusion information, and then transform the fusion information into the transformed information through the non-linear transformation;
- wherein through the non-linear transform, a number of bits of the fused depth information or the transformed information is equal to or less than a number of bits of the first depth information.
