Abstract
Techniques for depth map generation using cluster hierarchy and multiple multiresolution camera clusters are described. In one example embodiment, the method includes, capturing images using multiple multiresolution camera clusters. Multiple low-resolution depth maps are then generated by down scaling the captured high resolution image and mid-resolution images to lower resolution images. A low-resolution central camera depth map is generated using the refined multiple low-resolution depth maps. Captured lower resolution images are then up-scaled to mid-resolution images. A mid-resolution depth maps are then generated for each cluster using multiple view points and the up-scaled mid-resolution images. A high-resolution depth map is then generated using the refined initial mid-resolution depth map, the low-resolution central camera depth map, and the up-scaled central cluster images. A 3D image of the captured image is then generated using the generated high-resolution depth map and the captured low, mid and high-resolution images.
