Abstract

Example embodiments may allow for the efficient, edge-preserving filtering, upsampling, or other processing of image data with respect to a reference image. A cost- minimization problem to generate anoutput image from the input array is mapped onto regularly- spaced vertices in a multidimensional vertex space. This mapping is based on an association between pixels of the reference image and the vertices, and between elements of the input array and the pixels of the reference image. The problem is them solved to determine vertex disparity values for each of the vertices. Pixels of the output image can be determined based on determined vertex disparity values for respective one or more vertices associated with each of the pixels. This fast, efficient image processing method can be used to enable edge-preserving image upsampling, image colorization, semantic segmentation of image contents, image filtering or de-noising, or other applications.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and incorporates the contents of US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 251,608, filed November 5, 2015. Background technique [0003] When performing image processing on images of natural scenes, it may be beneficial to consider the locations and boundaries of discrete people, animals, plants, objects, buildings, or other content of such images. Such image processing tasks may include filtering of image data (e.g., to remove noise or artifacts), colorization of images, determining information about the content of an image (e.g., the depth of each pixel in an image, the pixel semantic class labels) or some other image processing task. For example, when colorizing an image, it may be beneficial to apply a small number of manually specified color values ​​to the rest of the object to produce a shaded version of the image. In another example, it may be beneficial to filter and / or upsa...
