View synthesis method for 3D video coding based on temporal and inter view correlation

Adaptive colour‐guided non‐local means algorithm for compound noise reduction of depth maps

“…At the scene level, the distance between any object and a viewer (or camera) is represented by a grey‐scale map called a depth map. Depth maps are fundamental to numerous computer vision and visual communication applications, such as robot navigation [1], three‐dimensional (3D) modelling and reconstruction [2], 3DTV [3, 4], salient object detection [5–7] and segmentation [8, 9]. They can be acquired by various passive [10] or active acquisition methods.…”
