Abstract
A method for generating a depth map for a 2D image and video includes receiving the 2D image and video; defining a plurality of object classes; analyzing content of the received 2D image and video; calculating probabilities that the received 2D image belongs to the object classes; and determining a final depth map based on a result of the analyzed content and the calculated probabilities for the object classes.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for generating a depth map for a 2D image, the method comprising:
- receiving the 2D image;
- defining a plurality of object classes;
- analyzing content of the received 2D image;
- calculating probabilities that the received 2D image belongs to the object classes;
- and
- determining a final depth map based on a result of the analyzed content and the calculated probabilities for the object classes.
An apparatus for generating a depth map for a received 2D image, the apparatus comprising:
- an image content analyzer to analyze content of the received 2D image;
- a class probability calculator to calculate the probability that the received 2D image belongs to each of a plurality of object classes;
- and
- a final depth map generator to determine a final depth map based on a result of the analyzed content and the calculated probabilities for the object classes.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, causes a computer to perform a method for generating a depth map for a 2D image, the method comprising:
- receiving the 2D image;
- defining a plurality of object classes;
- analyzing content of the received 2D image;
- calculating probabilities that the received 2D image belongs to the object classes;
- and
- determining a final depth map based on a result of the analyzed content and the calculated probabilities for the object classes.
