Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose method and apparatus for processing a depth image. The method comprises: obtaining the depth image and a captured image corresponding to the depth image; segmenting the depth image to obtain a plurality of segmentation units; calculating a corresponding depth reference value for each segmentation unit; determining a standard range of depth value for the each segmentation unit based on the corresponding depth reference value; and adjusting a depth value of each pixel of the depth image to the standard range of depth value corresponding to the segmentation unit in which the each pixel is located. The method and the apparatus of embodiments of the present invention can improve the quality of the depth image and cause the depth image to be easily identified.
