Abstract

A method, a device and a system for restoring a resized depth frame into an original depth frame are disclosed. The method for restoring a resized depth frame into an original depth frame includes the steps of: obtaining a first sub-pixel value from one pixel of the resized depth frame; storing the first sub-pixel value in all sub-pixels of a first pixel of the original depth frame; obtaining a second sub-pixel value of the pixel of the resized depth frame; and storing the second sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a second pixel of the original depth frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for restoring a resized depth frame into an original depth frame, comprising steps of:
obtaining a first sub-pixel value from sub-pixels of one pixel of the resized depth frame wherein each of the pixels of the resized depth frame has three sub-pixels;
storing the first sub-pixel value in all sub-pixels of a first pixel of the original depth frame wherein each of the pixels of the original depth frame has three sub-pixels, and each of the sub-pixels has the same sub-pixel values;
obtaining a second sub-pixel value from the sub-pixels of the pixel of the resized depth frame; and
storing the second sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a second pixel of the original depth frame.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel of the original depth frame are positioned at the same column of the original depth frame.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel of the original depth frame are positioned at the same row of the original depth frame.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a column direction.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a row direction.

6. A device for restoring a resized depth frame into an original depth frame, comprising:
a pixel retrieving unit for obtaining at least a first sub-pixel value and a second sub-pixel value from sub-pixels of a pixel of the resized depth frame, wherein each of the pixels of the resized depth frame has three sub-pixels; and
a pixel storing unit for storing the first sub-pixel value in all sub-pixels of a first pixel of the original depth frame, and storing the second sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a second pixel of the original depth frame, wherein each of the pixels of the original depth frame has three sub-pixels, and each of the sub-pixels have the same sub-pixel values.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel of the original depth frame are positioned at the same column of the original depth frame.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel of the original depth frame are positioned at the same row of the original depth frame.

9. The device of claim 6 , wherein the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a column direction.

10. The device of claim 6 , wherein the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a row direction.

11. A system for restoring a resized depth frame into an original depth frame, comprising:
a memory unit for storing the resized depth frame, wherein each of the pixels of the resized depth frame has three sub-pixels; and
a processing unit for obtaining at least a first sub-pixel value and a second sub-pixel value from the sub-pixels of a pixel of the resized depth frame, storing the first sub-pixel value in all sub-pixels of a first pixel of the original depth frame, and storing the second sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a second pixel of the original depth frame, wherein each of the pixels of the original depth frame has three sub-pixels, and each of the sub-pixels have the same sub-pixel values.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel of the original depth frame are positioned at the same column of the original depth frame.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first pixel and the second pixel of the original depth frame are positioned at the same row of the original depth frame.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a column direction.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a row direction.

16. A device for restoring a resized depth frame into an original depth frame, comprising:
a pixel retrieving unit for obtaining at least a first sub-pixel value, a second sub-pixel value and a third sub-pixel value from three sub-pixels of a pixel of the resized depth frame; and
a pixel storing unit for storing the first sub-pixel value in all sub-pixels of a first pixel of the original depth frame, storing the second sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a second pixel of the original depth frame, and storing the third sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a third pixel of the original depth frame, wherein each of the pixels of the original depth frame has three sub-pixels, and each of the sub-pixels have the same sub-pixel values.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the first pixel, the second pixel and the third pixel of the original depth frame are located on the same column of the original depth frame, and the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a column direction.

18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the first pixel, the second pixel and the third pixel of the original depth frame are located on the same row of the original depth frame, and the size of the original depth frame is triple of the resized depth frame along a row direction.

19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining a third sub-pixel value from the sub-pixels of the pixel of the resized depth frame; and storing the third sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a third pixel of the original depth frame.

20. The device of claim 6 , wherein the pixel retrieving unit is configured to obtain a third sub-pixel value from the sub-pixels of the pixel of the resized depth frame, and the pixel storing unit is configured to store the third sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a third pixel of the original depth frame.

21. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing unit is configured to obtain a third sub-pixel value from the sub-pixels of the pixel of the resized depth frame, and the processing unit is configured to store the third sub-pixel value to all sub-pixels of a third pixel of the original depth frame.
