Abstract
Disclosed is a depth map calculation method and apparatus. The depth map calculation method includes calculating a global sparse depth map corresponding to a current frame using frames including the current frame, calculating a local dense depth map corresponding to the current frame using the current frame, extracting a non-static object region from the current frame by masking a static object region, removing the non-static object region from the global sparse depth map, and generating a global dense depth map corresponding to the current frame by merging the non-static object region-removed global sparse depth map and the local dense depth map.
