High-quality multi-view depth generation using multiple color and depth cameras

In this paper, we propose a high-quality multi-view depth generation method using multiple color and depth cameras. After we capture low-resolution depth maps by three TOF cameras, the depth information is warped into color image positions and used as the initial disparity value. By applying the stereo matching using belief propagation with the initial disparity information, we have obtained more accurate and stable multi-view disparity maps, compared to those results without the initial disparity information.
