Abstract
A method including: receiving visible-light images captured using camera(s) and depth data corresponding to said images; identifying image segments of visible-light image that represent objects or their parts belonging to different material categories; detecting whether at least two adjacent image segments in visible-light image pertain to at least two different material categories related to same object category; and when it is detected that at least two adjacent image segments pertain to at least two different material categories related to same object category, identifying at least two adjacent depth segments of depth data corresponding to at least two adjacent image segments; and correcting errors in optical depths represented in at least one of at least two adjacent depth segments, based on optical depths represented in remaining of at least two adjacent depth segments.
