Depth cursor and depth management in images
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a depthmap generated from an optical distancing system;
correlating a plurality of depth data in the depthmap to pixels of an image;
receiving a first selection of a first location in the image;
receiving a second selection of a second location in the image;
calculating, using a processor, a depth line from the first selection to the second selection using the depthmap; and
displaying the depth line on the image, wherein the depth line appears in front of at least one object in the image and behind at least one object in the image.

Abstract
One or more systems, devices, and/or methods for illustrating depth are disclosed. For example, a method includes receiving a depthmap generated from an optical distancing system. The depthmap includes depth data for each of a plurality of points, which are correlated to pixels of an image. Data indicative of a location on the image is received. Depth data correlated with the first point is compared to depth data correlated with pixels at surrounding points in the image. If the depth data correlated with the first point indicate a lesser distance from a viewer perspective of the image than the depth data of a pixel at the surrounding points in the image, the pixel is changed to a predetermined value. The comparison may be repeated at other pixels and a depth illustration may be drawn that relates the depth of the received location to other objects in the image.
