Abstract:
Some embodiments are directed to an integrated circuit and computer-implemented method for estimating a depth map from an image using a joint bilateral filter at reduced computational complexity. For that purpose, image data of an image is accessed as well as depth data of a template depth map. A joint bilateral filter is then applied to the template depth map using the image data as a range term in the joint bilateral filter, thereby obtaining an image-adapted depth map as output. The applying of the joint bilateral filter includes initializing a sum-of-weighted-depths volume and a sum-of-weights volume as respective empty data structures in a memory, performing a splatting operation to fill said volumes, performing a slicing operation to obtain an image-adapted depth volume, and performing an interpolation operation to obtain an image-adapted depth value of the image-adapted depth map for each pixel in the image.
