A Recovery Method for Kinect-Like Depth Map Based on Color Image Segmentation

The original depth map captured by low-cost depth cameras such as Kinect suffers from problems of depth missing and noise, which restrict its further application. In this paper, we propose a novel recovery method of Kinect-like depth map utilizing the corresponding color image. The proposed method consists of two steps: hole-filling by image in painting and denoising by fast guided filter. Experiments show that our method gives satisfactory result.
