Abstract:
1. A method of generating a multi-dimensional image of an object in a scene, the method comprising: capturing a three-dimensional (3D) low-resolution depth image of the scene into a low-spatial resolution depth map in a memory and a two-dimensional (2D) high-resolution light intensity image of the scene into the memory; converting the 2D high-resolution light intensity image from the memory to a spectral-augmented high-resolution image of a selected channel, wherein the channel is a selected spectral band, wherein the converting includes receiving a selection of an object of interest and selecting a channel based upon stored parameters for the object of interest, wherein the converting includes adding spectral reflectance information for the selected channel; segmenting the object from the spectral-augmented high-resolution image, resulting in a segmented version of the spectral-augmented high-resolution image; and generating a high-resolution depth image of the object based at least in part on the 3D low-resolution depth image and the segmented version of the spectral-augmented high-resolution image.
