Abstract
Depth map stereo correspondence techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a depth map generated through use of a depth sensor is leveraged as part of processing of stereo images to assist in identifying which parts of stereo images correspond to each other. For example, the depth map may be utilized to describe depth of an image scene which may be used as part of a stereo correspondence calculation. The depth map may also be utilized as part of a determination of a search range to be employed as part of the stereo correspondence calculation.
Claims20
A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- determining a search range based at least in part on a depth map generated through use of a depth sensor of an image scene;
- and
- calculating stereo correspondence of image data of stereoscopic images of the image scene, the calculating performed based at least in part using the determined search range.
A system comprising:
- at least one module implemented at least partially in hardware, the at least one module configured to determine a search range based at least in part on a depth map generated through use of a depth sensor of an image scene;
- and
- one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware, the one or more modules configured to calculate stereo correspondence of image data of stereoscopic images of an image scene, the calculation configured to be performed using the search range and the depth map.
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that are stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a depth map from one or more depth sensors of an image scene, the depth map describing depth of the image scene;
- and
- calculating stereo correspondence of image data of stereoscopic images of the image scene, the calculating performed based at least in part using the depth map.
