Abstract: In this work we present a novel method for the challenging problem of depth image upsampling. Modern depth cameras such as Kinect or Time of Flight cameras deliver dense, high quality depth measurements but are limited in their lateral resolution. To overcome this limitation we formulate a convex optimization problem using higher order regularization for depth image upsampling. In this optimization an anisotropic diffusion tensor, calculated from a high resolution intensity image, is used to guide the upsampling. We derive a numerical algorithm based on a primaldual formulation that is efficiently parallelized and runs at multiple frames per second. We show that this novel upsampling clearly outperforms state of the art approaches in terms of speed and accuracy on the widely used Middlebury 2007 datasets. Furthermore, we introduce novel datasets with highly accurate groundtruth, which, for the first time, enable to benchmark depth upsampling methods using real sensor data.

Visual evaluation on the real datasets Books (first row), Shark (second row) and Devil (third row). In column (a) the low resolution ToF image and the high resolution intensity image are shown, whereas column (b) shows the high resolution groundtruth depth. The black areas are not correctly reconstructed due to occlusions in the stereo system and therefore set invalid for the RMSE calculation. In column (c) the upsampling result of our method is shown whereas in column (d) the relative depth error to the known groundtruth is shown.
