Abstract
A method and apparatus for temporally interpolating a three-dimensional (3D) depth image are provided to generate an intermediate depth image in a desired time. The apparatus may interpolate depth images generated by a depth camera, using a temporal interpolation procedure, may generate an intermediate depth image in a new time using the interpolated depth images, and may combine the generated intermediate depth image with color images, to generate a high-precision 3D image.
