Techniques to capture and edit dynamic depth images

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining image data from a file container, the image data comprising a plurality of pixel values, each pixel value corresponding to a respective pixel of a plurality of pixels of a primary image, and image metadata that comprises a depth map;
• causing the primary image to be displayed;
• receiving user input indicative of selection of an object depicted in the primary image;
• generating a segmentation mask based on the depth map, wherein the segmentation mask identifies a subset of pixels of the primary image that correspond to the object;
• obtaining an object image of the object based on the segmentation mask;
• and
• providing a user interface that enables selection of the object image.

A computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining image data from a file container, the image data comprising a plurality of pixel values, each pixel value corresponding to a respective pixel of a plurality of pixels of a primary image, and image metadata that comprises a depth map;
