1. An image processing system comprising:
- a calculation unit configured to calculate a phase difference between an emitted light and a first received light reflected from an object due to the emitted light, the calculation unit being further configured to calculate an amplitude indicating an intensity of the first received light and calculate an offset of the first received light;
a reconstruction unit configured to reconstruct the first received light based on the phase difference and configured to provide a reconstruction error, the reconstruction error corresponding to intensity differences between sampling points of the first received light and corresponding sampling points of the reconstructed first received light;
a confidence map estimation unit configured to determine a confidence map based on the amplitude, the offset and the reconstruction error, the confidence map associated with a first input image generated based on the first received light, the first input image having a first resolution; and
an up-sampling unit configured to perform a joint bilateral up-sampling on depth information of the first input image based on the confidence map and a second input image of the object, the up-sampling unit configured to increase the first resolution of the first input image to a second resolution to provide an output image with the second resolution.

Abstract
An image processing system includes a calculation unit, a reconstruction unit, a confidence map estimation unit and an up-sampling unit. The up-sampling unit is configured to perform a joint bilateral up-sampling on depth information of a first input image based on a confidence map of the first input image and a second input image with respect to an object and increase a first resolution of the first input image to a second resolution to provide an output image with the second resolution.
