Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, and methods for generating a fused depth map from one or more individual depth maps, wherein the fused depth map is configured to provide robust depth estimation for points within the depth map. The methods, apparatus, or systems may comprise components that identify a field of view (FOV) of an imaging device configured to capture an image of the FOV and select a first depth sensing method. The system or method may sense a depth of the FOV with respect to the imaging device using the first selected depth sensing method and generate a first depth map of the FOV based on the sensed depth of the first selected depth sensing method. The system or method may also identify a region of one or more points of the first depth map having one or more inaccurate depth measurements and determine if additional depth sensing is needed.
