Abstract:
An electronic device is described. The electronic device includes a camera configured to capture an image of a scene. The electronic device also includes an image segmentation mapper configured to perform segmentation of the image based on image content to generate a plurality of image segments, each of the plurality of image segments associated with spatial coordinates indicative of a location of each segment in the scene. The electronic device further includes a memory configured to store the image and the spatial coordinates. The electronic device additionally includes a LIDAR (light+radar) unit, the LIDAR unit steerable to selectively obtain depth values corresponding to at least a subset of the spatial coordinates. The electronic device further includes a depth mapper configured to generate a depth map of the scene based on the depth values and the spatial coordinates.
