Abstract
The techniques described herein segment objects represented in images using one or more depth maps, regardless of whether an initial depth map is of a threshold quality. To do so, the techniques determine whether the initial depth map is of the threshold quality. If so, the techniques use this depth map for performing segmentation on an image. If not, then the techniques utilize one or more fallback approaches for generating an additional depth map, from which the segmentation may be performed.
