Semantically Guided Depth Upsampling
We present a novel method for accurate and efficient up- sampling of sparse
depth data, guided by high-resolution imagery. Our approach goes beyond the use
of intensity cues only and additionally exploits object boundary cues through
structured edge detection and semantic scene labeling for guidance. Both cues
are combined within a geodesic distance measure that allows for
boundary-preserving depth in- terpolation while utilizing local context. We
model the observed scene structure by locally planar elements and formulate the
upsampling task as a global energy minimization problem. Our method determines
glob- ally consistent solutions and preserves fine details and sharp depth
bound- aries. In our experiments on several public datasets at different levels
of application, we demonstrate superior performance of our approach over the
state-of-the-art, even for very sparse measurements.Comment: German Conference on Pattern Recognition 2016 (Oral
