Abstract
Systems and methods for the generation of depth data for a scene using images captured by a camera-enabled mobile device are provided. According to a particular implementation of the present disclosure, a reference image can be captured of a scene with an image capture device, such as an image capture device integrated with a camera-enabled mobile device. A short video or sequence of images can then be captured from multiple different poses relative to the reference scene. The captured image and video can then be processed using computer vision techniques to produce an image with associated depth data, such as an RGBZ image.
