Abstract
Significant recent developments in 3D display technology have focused on techniques for converting 2D media into 3D. Depth map is an integral part of 2D-to-3D conversion. Combining multiple depth cues results in a more accurate depth map as it compensates for the errors caused by one depth cue as well as its absence by other depth cues. In this paper, we present a novel framework to generate a more accurate depth map for video using defocus and motion cues. The moving objects present in the scene are the source of errors in both defocus and motion-based depth map estimation. The proposed method rectifies these errors in the depth map by integrating defocus blur and motion cues. In addition, it also corrects the errors in other parts of depth map caused by inaccurate estimation of defocus blur and motion. Since the proposed integration approach relies on the characteristics of point spread functions of defocus and motion blur along with their relations to camera parameters, it is more accurate and reliable. © 2018 IEEE.
