Systems and methods for image depth map generation

A system comprising:

• global depth map generation logic operable to track global motion of a mono-view image to provide image global motion information and generate an image global depth map using the image global motion information, wherein the mono-view image is part of a plurality of images, and wherein the global motion comprises general movement of the image;
• depth analysis logic operable to determine local depth adjustment metrics using a relative relation of a plurality of color components for pixels of the mono-view image;
• and
• depth fusion logic operable to refine local depth values of the image global depth map using the local depth adjustment metrics to provide an image depth map of the mono-view image.

A method comprising:

• receiving a mono-view image for generating an image depth map of the mono-view image, wherein the mono-view image is part of a plurality of images comprising a motion video segment;
• generating a full global depth map for the plurality of images comprising the motion video segment, wherein the full global depth map is sized to accommodate image global motion within the motion video segment;
• tracking global motion of the mono-view image to provide image global motion information, wherein the global motion comprises general movement of the mono-view image;
• generating an image global depth map from a sub-region of the full global depth map using the image global motion information, wherein the image global motion information is used to locate the sub-region of the full global depth map;
• and
• refining local depth values of the image global depth map using a relative relation of a plurality of color components for pixels of the mono-view image to provide the image depth map of the mono-view image.
