Depth Estimation Using Three-Dimensional Epipolar Data Structures

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program code executable by a processing device, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• program code for receiving image data depicting an image space from a plurality of perspectives;
• program code for generating at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure from the image data, the at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure comprising data describing a difference in position of at least one object between the plurality of perspectives, wherein the at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure corresponds to at least one region of the image space;
• and
• program code for generating a depth map based on the at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure.

A system comprising:

• a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• wherein the instructions comprise an image manipulation application configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving image data depicting an image space from a plurality of perspectives;
• generating at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure from the image data, the at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure comprising data describing a difference in position of at least one object between the plurality of perspectives, wherein the at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure corresponds to at least one region of the image space;
• and
• generating a depth map based on the at least one three-dimensional epipolar data structure.
