A Joint Intensity and Depth Co-Sparse Analysis Model for Depth Map Super-Resolution
High-resolution depth maps can be inferred from low-resolution depth
measurements and an additional high-resolution intensity image of the same
scene. To that end, we introduce a bimodal co-sparse analysis model, which is
able to capture the interdependency of registered intensity and depth
information. This model is based on the assumption that the co-supports of
corresponding bimodal image structures are aligned when computed by a suitable
pair of analysis operators. No analytic form of such operators exist and we
propose a method for learning them from a set of registered training signals.
This learning process is done offline and returns a bimodal analysis operator
that is universally applicable to natural scenes. We use this to exploit the
bimodal co-sparse analysis model as a prior for solving inverse problems, which
leads to an efficient algorithm for depth map super-resolution.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
