This paper addresses an approach to scene reconstruction by inferring missing range data in a partial range map based on intensity image and sparse initial range data. It is assumed that the initial known range data is given on a number of scan lines one pixel width. This assumption is natural for a range sensor to acquire range data in a 3D real world environment. Both edge information of the intensity image and linear interpolation of the range data are used. Experiments show that this method gives very good results in inferring missing range data. It outperforms both the previous method and bilinear interpolation when a very small percentage of range data is known.
