1. A method for computing a fused depth map of a view of an object, comprising:

  • obtaining camera calibration data for a new view of an object;

    rendering each of a plurality of known depth maps of the object into the new view of the object based on the camera calibration of the new view; and

    computing the depth map elements of a fused depth map of the new view of the object, wherein each said depth map element corresponds to a pixel in the new view of the object and wherein each said depth map element comprises a median value of a set of rendered depth map elements, corresponding to the pixel, each from one of the plurality of rendered depth maps.
