Abstract

Kinect is a motion sensing input device which is widely used in computer vision and other related fields. However, there are many inaccurate depth data in Kinect depth images even Kinect v2. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to enhance Kinect v2 depth images. According to the principle of its depth measuring, the foreground and the background are considered separately. As to the background, the holes are filled according to the depth data in the neighborhood. And as to the foreground, a filling algorithm, based on the color image concerning about both space and color information, is proposed. An adaptive joint bilateral filtering method is used to reduce noise. Experimental results show that the processed depth images have clean background and clear edges. The results are better than ones of traditional Strategies. It can be applied in 3D reconstruction fields to pretreat depth image in real time and obtain accurate results.
