Abstract
A method and system for processing camera images is presented. The system receives a first depth map generated based on information sensed by a first type of depth-sensing camera, and receives a second depth map generated based on information sensed by a second type of depth-sensing camera. The first depth map includes a first set of pixels that indicate a first set of respective depth values. The second depth map includes a second set of pixels that indicate a second set of respective depth values. The system identifies a third set of pixels of the first depth map that correspond to the second set of pixels of the second depth map, identifies one or more empty pixels from the third set of pixels, and updates the first depth map by assigning to each empty pixel a respective depth value based on the second depth map.
