This paper proposes a depth hole filling method for RGBD images obtained from the Microsoft Kinect sensor. First, the proposed method labels depth holes based on 8-connectivity. For each labeled depth hole, the proposed method fills depth hole using the depth distribution of neighboring pixels of th...
