Abstract
A method for depth image enhancement implemented in at least one apparatus includes reading and processing Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) pixels of a region-of-interest (ROI) area of a gaze region in an image obtained from a color camera sensor; utilizing one or more depth camera sensors to provide one or more depth maps of the ROI area of the gaze region; and combining the processed PDAF pixels of the ROI area of the gaze region and the one or more depth maps of the ROI area of the gaze region to obtain an updated ROI area with complementary depth information of the ROI area of the gaze region.
