Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • generating a plurality of initial depth maps for a first image of a stereo pair, wherein the plurality of initial depth maps for the first image are generated using at least two separate and distinct techniques for depth estimation;

    generating a plurality of initial depth maps for a second image of the stereo pair, wherein the plurality of initial depth maps for the second image are generated using at least two separate and distinct techniques for depth estimation;

    generating a fused depth map for the first image based on the plurality of initial depth maps for the first image and the plurality of initial depth maps for the second image; and

    generating a fused depth map for the second image based on the plurality of initial depth maps for the second image and the plurality of initial depth maps for the first image.
