Paper Abstract
This paper proposes a depth up-sampling method using the confidence map for a fusion of a high resolution color sensor
and low resolution time-of-flight depth sensor. The confidence map represents the accuracy of depth depending on the
reflectance of a measured object and is estimated with amplitude, offset, and reconstructed error of a received signal.
The proposed method suppresses the depth artifacts that are caused by difference between low and high reflective
materials on an object at a distance. Although the surface of an object is located at the same distance, the reflectance of
small regions within the surface depends on constituent materials. Weighted filter generated by confidence map is added
to the modified noise-aware filter for depth up-sampling that is proposed by Derek et al., and is adaptively selected. The
proposed method consists of followings; the normalization, the reconstruction, the confidence map estimation, and the
modified noise-aware filtering. In the normalization, amplitudes and offsets of received signals are calculated and
received signals are normalized by those. The phase shifts are measured between transmitted and received signals. In the
reconstruction, received signals are reconstructed using only the values of phase shifts and the reconstruction errors are
calculated. The confidence map is estimated with amplitudes, offsets, and reconstruction errors. The coefficients of a
modified noise-aware filter are adaptively selected by referring to the confidence map. The proposed method shows the
enhanced results of removing depth artifacts in the experiments.
