Abstract
A mechanism is described for facilitating three-dimensional (3D) depth imaging systems, and morphological and geometric filters for edge enhancement in depth images at computing devices according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting an input digital image of an object, the digital image comprising data pixels contaminated by noise and confidence values corresponding to the data pixels, and computing a morphological filter by matching the confidence pixels in the input digital image with a set of matching templates, and using a set of masking templates to determine the data pixels and confidence pixels in the filtered image. The method further include computing an edge filter by performing computation of distances between the data pixels along a plurality of directions to determine an edge direction, and determining the data pixels and and the confidence pixels in a filtered image based on the edge direction. The method may further include applying at least one of the morphological filter and the edge filter to filter the digital image.
