Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing a depth image that removes noise of a depth image may include a noise estimating unit to estimate noise of a depth image using an amplitude image, a super-pixel generating unit to generate a planar super-pixel based on depth information of the depth image and the noise estimated, and a noise removing unit to remove noise of the depth image using depth information of the depth image and depth information of the super-pixel.
