Abstract
In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes capturing an image for each flash unit of an electronic device, each image being illuminated during the capturing of the image; obtaining a normalized image from one or more of the illuminated images; and using an illumination-based optimization framework to generate an enhanced three-dimensional (3D) depth image, the illumination-based optimization framework being based on the illuminated image. In some embodiments of the computer-implemented method, the illumination-based optimization framework incorporates the normalized image and 3D depth data associated with the captured image into the generation of the enhanced 3D depth image.
