Abstract
An image processing system configured to receive an input time-of-flight depth map representing the distance of objects in an image from a camera at a plurality of locations of pixels in the respective image, and in dependence on that map to generate an improved time-of-flight depth map for the image, the input time-of-flight depth map having been generated from at least one correlation image representing the overlap between emitted and reflected light signals at the plurality of locations of pixels at a given phase shift, the system being configured to generate the improved time-of-flight depth map from the input time-of-flight depth map in dependence on a colour representation of the respective image and at least one correlation image.
