Abstract
The techniques described herein disclose a system that is configured to detect and track the three-dimensional pose of an object (e.g., a head-mounted display device) in a color image using an accessible three-dimensional model of the object. The system uses the three-dimensional pose of the object to repair pixel depth values associated with a region (e.g., a surface) of the object that is composed of material that absorbs light emitted by a time-of-flight depth sensor to determine depth. Consequently, a color-depth image (e.g., a Red-Green-Blue-Depth image or RGB-D image) can be produced that does not include dark holes on and around the region of the object that is composed of material that absorbs light emitted by the time-of-flight depth sensor.
