Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating a depth map including, generating an initial depth map for a first image, the first image being one of a pair of stereo images received from an imaging device, the pair of stereo images including the first image and a second image and generating an estimated depth map based on the initial depth map by hypothesizing depth values for missing regions in the initial depth map. The method including warping the second image based on the estimated depth map, generating a warped depth map based on the first image and the warped second image, and generating a new depth map for the first image relative to the second image based on the warped depth map and the estimated depth map.
