Abstract
An exemplary depth data generation system accesses first and second depth maps of a real-world scene, the depth maps independently captured using first and second depth map capture techniques, respectively. The first and second depth maps include, respectively, first and second depth data points both representative of a same physical point on a surface of an object in the real-world scene. Based on the first and second depth map capture techniques and based on an attribute of the surface of the object, the system assigns a first confidence value to the first depth data point and a second confidence value to the second depth data point. Based on the first and second confidence values, the system converges the first and second depth maps to form a converged depth map of the real-world scene that includes a third depth data point representing the physical point on the surface of the object.
