Abstract

A method and apparatus for enhancing quality of a depth image are provided. A method for enhancing quality of a depth image includes: receiving a multi-view image including a left image, a right image, and a center image; receiving a current depth image frame and a previous depth image frame of the current depth image frame; setting an intensity difference value corresponding to a specific disparity value of the current depth image frame by using the current depth image frame and the previous depth image frame; setting a disparity value range including the specific disparity value; and setting an intensity difference value corresponding to the disparity value range of the current depth image frame by using the multi-viewpoint image.
