In order to achieve high realism an acceptable level of user experience in immersive videos, it is crucial to provide both the best possible quality of depth maps and minimize computational time. In this paper, we propose a new approach to the decoder-side depth estimation (DSDE) problem, which uses the hierarchical alpha-expansion algorithm with additional improvements for the estimation designed to be more robust to compressed video artifacts and limited computational resources. As shown by the experimental results, the proposal simultaneously results in reduction of computation time of the estimation process (by almost 40%) and an improvement of quality of estimated depth maps. The increased quality is demonstrated by more than 6% Bjøntegaard delta gain compared to the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) immersive video state-of-the-art DSDE method. Full article

Due to the numerous objects with regular structures in indoor environments, identifying and modeling the regular objects in scenes aids indoor robots in sensing unknown environments. Typically, point cloud preprocessing can obtain highly complete object segmentation results in scenes which can be utilized as the objects for geometric analysis and modeling, thus ensuring modeling accuracy and speed. However, due to the lack of a complete object model, it is not possible to recognize and model segmented objects through matching methods. To achieve a greater understanding of scene point clouds, this paper proposes a direct geometric modeling algorithm based on segmentation results, which focuses on extracting regular geometries in the scene, rather than objects with geometric details or combinations of multiple primitives. This paper suggests using simpler geometric models to describe the corresponding point cloud data. By fully utilizing the surface structure information of segmented objects, the paper analyzes the types of faces and their relationships to classify regular geometric objects into two categories: planar and curved. Different types of geometric objects are fitted using random sampling consistency algorithms with type classification results as prior knowledge, and segmented results are modeled through a combination of size information associated with directed bounding boxes. For indoor scenes with occlusion and stacking, utilizing a higher-level semantic expression can effectively simplify the scene, complete scene abstraction and structural modeling, and aid indoor robots’ understanding and further operation in unknown environments.
