Method and system of depth data filling of shadows for image processing

A computer-implemented system of depth data filling of shadows for image processing, comprising:

• at least one display;
• at least one memory
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the display and the memory;
• and
• a shadow filling unit operated by the at least one processor and to operate by:
• obtaining a location of at least one gap of missing depth data on pixel image data of at least one image;
• calculating a shadow band length corresponding to a size and position of the gap on the image, and calculated by using, at least in part, background and foreground depth values;
• and
• providing depth values for multiple pixel locations extending along the shadow band length.

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed cause a computing device to operate by:

• obtaining a location of at least one gap of missing depth data on pixel image data of at least one image;
• calculating a shadow band length corresponding to a size and position of the gap on the image, and calculated by using, at least in part, background and foreground depth values;
• and
• providing depth values for multiple pixel locations extending along the shadow band length.
