Patent Images

1. A method of processing first depth-related information associated with an image sequence comprising:

  • mapping first depth-related information of respective images of a shot of the image sequence on corresponding second depth-related information using a first estimate of a characteristic of a distribution of first depth-related information associated with at least one image from the shot, the mapping comprising;

    determining a range of interest of the first depth-related information based at least in part by the first estimate, wherein an amount of variation in the mapping for respective images in temporal proximity in the shot is based on a predetermined threshold value, said threshold value being determined by a type of said shot; and

    allocating said determined range of interest of said first depth-related information onto a full range of interest of said second depth related information.
