Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for processing image data from a time-of-flight sensor. An example method includes receiving a depth map and a two-dimensional image that each correspond to an image frame captured by a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor; identifying a plurality of pixels within the two-dimensional image that correspond to at least one scene element; identifying, based on the plurality of pixels, a plurality of voxels within the depth map that correspond to the at least one scene element; and grouping the plurality of voxels into a super voxel that corresponds to the at least one scene element.
