Abstract
An optimization method of image depth information and an image processing apparatus are provided. A to-be-repaired depth map generated based on a left image and a right image is obtained. A superpixel segmenting process is performed on the left image or the right image to obtain multiple superpixels. A plurality of image segments are obtained by aggregating the superpixels according to pixel information in the superpixels. A hole filling process is performed on holes of the to-be-repaired depth map to obtain a hole-filled depth map. A statistical analysis is performed on first valid depth values of the to-be-repaired depth map and second valid depth values of the hole-filled depth map to obtain a plurality of optimized depth values by using the ranges of the image segments, the ranges of the superpixels, the to-be-repaired depth map, and the hole-filled depth map.
