The invention belongs to the field of computer vision, and provides a method, a system and a computing device for generating a high-resolution depth map. The method and the system adopt an up-sampling algorithm to convert a low-resolution depth map into a high-resolution rough depth map, and then a skeleton map of the high-resolution rough depth map is further obtained. Then a low-resolution brightness map is utilized, and blocks which are most similar to each overlapping skeleton block in the skeleton map are searched in the low-resolution depth map. After that, a weighted stitching mode is adopted to fill the searched blocks into the corresponding positions of the high-resolution rough depth map so that the high-resolution depth map is obtained. As pixel information in the low-resolution depth map is supplemented to the high-resolution rough depth map, error depth data generated on the skeleton edge caused by data smoothing effect is corrected, a defect of simply applying the up-sampling mode is compensated and thus the obtained final high-resolution depth map is great in display effect.
