A Novel Method to Automatically Generate Depth Maps Based on Trace Points

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel method to automatically generate the depth map is presented, when the depth maps of reference images located before and after the target image in the same image sequence are given. A novel grid dividing method and a joint feature response model are proposed to adaptively select trace points, and an image deformation algorithm is given to track depth maps with the trace points. Experimental results show that the proposed method can generate depth maps effectively and accurately, which can meet the industrial needs in 2D-3D conversion.
