Claim One:
1. A method for fusing sensed measurements, comprising steps: acquiring depth measurements of a scene as a sequence of frames with a depth sensor; acquiring intensity measurements of the scene as a sequence of images with a camera, wherein a resolution of the depth sensor is less than a resolution of the camera, and further comprising computerized steps; searching for similar patches in multiple temporally adjacent frames of the depth measurements; grouping the similar patches into three-dimensional (3D) blocks using the intensity measurements; increasing a depth resolution of the three-dimensional (3D) blocks by performing a matrix completion of each 3D block using rank regularization to obtain increased resolution blocks, wherein the rank regularization is only enforced on the depth measurements of the patches; constructing a depth image with a resolution greater than the resolution of the depth sensor from the increased resolution blocks; and repeating the computerized steps until a termination condition is reached.
