Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of generating a plurality of depth maps for a plurality of images comprises receiving a first image, obtaining information relating to the shot defined by the first image, generating a depth map for the first image according to a first schema, receiving a second image, obtaining information relating to the shot defined by the second image, detecting a change in the obtained information between the first and second image, and generating a depth map for the second image according to a second schema, the second schema having a complexity different from that of the first schema. The method can comprise accessing first and second depth models. In one embodiment, the first schema comprises the first depth model, and the second schema comprises the second model, and in a second embodiment the first schema comprises the first depth model, and the second schema comprises a combination of the first and the second depth models.
