To overcome hardware limitations in commercially available depth sensors which result in low-resolution depth maps, depth map super-resolution (DMSR) is a practical and valuable computer vision task. DMSR requires upscaling a low-resolution (LR) depth map into a high-resolution (HR) space. Joint image filtering for DMSR has been applied using spatially-invariant and spatially-variant convolutional neural network (CNN) approaches. In this project, we propose a novel joint image filtering DMSR algorithm using a Swin transformer architecture. Furthermore, we introduce a Nonlinear Activation Free (NAF) network based on a conventional CNN model used in cutting-edge image restoration applications and compare the performance of the techniques. The proposed algorithms are validated through numerical studies and visual examples demonstrating improvements to state-of-the-art performance while maintaining competitive computation time for noisy depth map super-resolution.
