DEPTH CODING
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a segmentation for a particular portion of a video image in a sequence of video images based on reference depth indicators, the reference depth indicators being depth indicators associated with at least a portion of one video image in the sequence of video images; and
processing target depth indicators associated with the particular portion of the video image, the processing being based on the determined segmentation in the particular portion of the video image.

Abstract
Various implementations address depth coding and related disciplines. In one particular implementation, a segmentation is determined for a particular portion of a video image in a sequence of video images. The segmentation is determined based on reference depth indicators that are associated with at least a portion of one video image in the sequence of video images. Target depth indicators associated with the particular portion of the video image are processed. The processing is based on the determined segmentation in the particular portion of the video image. In another particular implementation, a segmentation is determined for at least a given portion of a video image based on depth indicators associated with the given portion. The segmentation is extended from the given portion into a target portion of the video image based on pixel values in the given portion and on pixel values in the target portion.
