Problems solved by technology

If the depth estimation algorithm for images is directly transplanted into the process of depth video estimation, ignoring the correlation between adjacent video frames, it will lead to the degradation of depth video quality and inconsistency in time domain
The temporal inconsistency of the depth video caused by the single-frame independent depth estimation method will cause the discontinuity effect of the virtual viewpoint video, which in turn will cause the quality degradation of the virtual viewpoint and the discomfort of the observer.

Embodiment Construction

[0034] The purpose of the present invention is to aim at the problem of depth video estimation, according to the basic framework of energy function minimization, use the motion information between frames to construct the time domain item of adaptive weight, and update the energy function. The new energy function contains space and time domain information. Through the minimization of the energy function, the time domain continuity of the depth video can be improved, and the quality of the depth video and its drawn virtual viewpoint can be improved at the same time.

[0035] Depth video estimation cannot ignore inter-frame correlation, so temporal correlation information should be introduced into depth estimation. In depth video estimation methods using constant weights, it is often necessary to select different weights for different video inputs in order to obtain better results. At the same time, this method does not significantly improve the quality of depth video and drawing...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of video processing technology and three-dimensional display, and discloses a time domain consistency depth video estimation method based on self-adaptive weight. The time domain consistency depth video estimation method aims to increase time domain continuity of depth video through minimization of an energy function, and increase quality of the depth video and drawn virtual viewpoints. Therefore, the invention adopts the technical scheme that the time domain consistency depth video estimation method based on self-adaptive weight comprises the steps of: 1, energy function construction; 2, inter-frame motion estimation; 3, self-adaptive weight calculation; 4, motion-based energy function updating; 5, and energy function minimization. The time domain consistency depth video estimation method is mainly used in video processing applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of video processing technology and stereoscopic display, and relates to a time-domain consistency depth video estimation method based on multi-viewpoint video based on adaptive weight. Specifically, it relates to a temporally consistent depth video estimation method based on adaptive weights. [0002] technical background [0003] 3D display technology can provide observers with an immersive visual experience. Compared with the traditional 2D system, the main feature of the 3D system is that it can provide the observer with a deep perception of the scene, and then obtain a stereoscopic experience. Therefore, the acquisition of depth information plays an important role in 3D systems. [0004] Depth data can be directly obtained by shooting with a depth camera, but due to the physical limitations of the device, the resolution of the depth map obtained by this method is often low. In stereo / multi-view systems, depth in...
