Abstract
A structured light three-dimensional (3D) depth map based on content filtering is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a receiver device, image data that corresponds to a structured light image. The method further includes processing the image data to decode depth information based on a pattern of projected coded light. The depth information corresponds to a depth map. The method also includes performing one or more filtering operations on the image data. An output of the one or more filtering operations includes filtered image data. The method further includes performing a comparison of the depth information to the filtered image data and modifying the depth information based on the comparison to generate a modified depth map.
