Dynamic Super Resolution of Depth Sequences with Non-Rigid Motions

We enhance the resolution of depth videos acquired with low resolution time-of-flight cameras. To that end, we propose a new dedicated dynamic super-resolution that is capable to accurately super-resolve a depth sequence containing one or multiple moving objects without strong constraints on their shape or motion, thus clearly outperforming any existing super-resolution techniques that perform poorly on depth
data and are either restricted to global motions or not precise because of an implicit estimation of motion. Our proposed approach is based on a new data model that leads to a robust registration of all depth frames after a dense upsampling. The texture-less nature of depth images allows to robustly handle sequences with multiple moving objects as confirmed by our experiments.
