2D to 3D Conversion - David Bowie

To celebrate the birthday of David Bowie, here's a quick stereo conversion using Depth Map Automatic Generator 4 (DMAG4).

The sparse depth map painted over the 2d image of David Bowie.

Dense depth map obtained by DMAG4 using Max number of iterations = 5000 and Number of scales = 1.

That's a good example to show what increasing the number of scales can do. Here, we clearly have noise in the reference flat image.

Dense depth map obtained by DMAG4 using Max number of iterations = 5000 and Number of scales = 3.

The dense depth map is smoother but we lost a bit of accuracy in the object boundaries. Doesn't really matter too much though.
