Methods and systems for enhancing depth perception of a non-visible spectrum image of a scene

A system for providing depth perception to a two-dimensional (2D) representation of a given three-dimensional (3D) object within a 2D non-visible spectrum image of a scene, the system comprising:

• at least one non-visible spectrum sensor configured to capture the 2D non-visible spectrum image at a capture time;
• and
• a processing circuitry configured to:
• obtain 3D data regarding the given 3D object independently of the 2D non-visible spectrum image;
• generate one or more depth cues based on the 3D data;
• apply the depth cues on the 2D representation to generate a depth perception image that provides the depth perception to the 2D representation;
• and
• display the depth perception image.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code, executable by processing circuitry of a computer to perform a method for providing depth perception to a two-dimensional (2D) representation of a given three-dimensional (3D) object within a 2D non-visible spectrum image of a scene, the method comprising:

• capturing the 2D non-visible spectrum image at a capture time, by at least one non-visible spectrum sensor;
• obtaining 3D data regarding the given 3D object independently of the 2D non-visible spectrum image;
• generating one or more depth cues based on the 3D data;
• applying the depth cues on the 2D representation to generate a depth perception image that provides the depth perception to the 2D representation;
• and
• displaying the depth perception image.
