Abstract: The invention concerns a method for filtering spurious pixels in a depth-map. It is important to filter a depth-map to remove the spurious pixels. One issue when filtering spurious pixels, is to remove them while preserving the boundaries of the real details of the depth-map. A known approach to filter spurious pixels is to use a bi-lateral filter. The bi-lateral filter offers an efficient filtering which enables to preserve the sharp edges of the depth-map while smoothing faint details or noise.  However, the bi-lateral filter is not efficient to remove the spurious pixels. Indeed, the spurious pixels are showing sharp edges versus the pixels directly surrounding them. In other words, the bi-lateral filer conserves the spurious pixels even after several iterations of filtering.  The proposed solution enables to remove spurious pixels in a depth-map while preserving the sharp edges of the depth-map and smoothing faint details or noise.
