Abstract
Method and apparatus for optimizing depth information are provided. One of a left image and a right image is divided into a plurality of segmentations for obtaining a plurality of segmentation maps. A necessary repair depth map is obtained, and the necessary repair depth map is partitioned into a plurality of depth planes according to a plurality of primary depth values and a camera parameter. The primary depth values are recorded in the necessary repair depth map having a plurality of holes. A plurality of optimized depth values are respectively generated for the holes in each of the depth planes by using the segmentation maps, and the optimized depth values are filled into the depth planes to obtain an optimized depth map.
