Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for producing high quality depth maps in real time, said computer-implemented method comprising: mapping a time of flight camera and stereo cameras of a stereo camera arrangement into a common coordinate system; establishing a correspondence between a red, green and blue (RGB) image taken from said time of flight camera and an RGB image taken from a reference stereo camera of said stereo camera arrangement, wherein said RGB images taken from said time of flight camera and stereo cameras within said stereo camera arrangement comprise a plurality of pixels; determining intensity values of said plurality of pixels of a stereo camera left of said reference stereo camera, a stereo camera right of said reference stereo camera and said reference stereo camera; comparing said intensity values of said stereo camera left of said reference stereo camera and said stereo camera right of said reference stereo camera as to said reference camera; and determining matching intensity values based on said comparing.
