Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a graphical user interface for modifying a depth map for a digital monoscopic color image. The method includes interactively selecting a region of the depth map based on color of a target region in the color image, and modifying depth values in the thereby selected region of the depth map using a depth modification rule. The color-based pixel selection rules for the depth map and the depth modification rule selected based on one color image from a video sequence may be saved and applied to automatically modify depths maps of other color images from the same sequence.
