joint_bilateral — 3D depth_denoise op

• Data kinds: depth × image2d → depth

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.joint_bilateral(depth: 'np.ndarray', guide: 'np.ndarray', spatial_sigma: 'float', range_sigma: 'float', *, invalid: 'float | None' = 0.0, truncate: 'float' = 3.0) -> 'np.ndarray' (to call the implementation directly, import depth_bilateral; depth_bilateral.joint_bilateral(depth: 'np.ndarray', guide: 'np.ndarray', spatial_sigma: 'float', range_sigma: 'float', *, invalid: 'float | None' = 0.0, truncate: 'float' = 3.0) -> 'np.ndarray'; from the registry, ops3d.get("joint_bilateral"))

Usage

Joint / cross bilateral: the depth is what gets smoothed, while the range weights come from the differences in the guide. → float64 (H,W).

Even if the depth is coarse, steps can be preserved using the sharp edges of a clean guide (RGB luminance, another sensor). range_sigma is in units of the guide value. Pixels where the guide is non-finite, and pixels where the depth is invalid, do not contribute. guide and depth must have the same shape (fail-closed).

Background guides (the physics and conventions behind this op)

• blender_interop — Using Blender alongside — build the shape, measure it with fullseye (pitfalls: axes, units, ground truth)

• depth_sensors — Depth sensors — ranging principles, real-device figures, how dropouts appear

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

Runnable examples (verified samples that actually call this op)

• sensor_seg — py -3.11 examples_3d/sensor_seg.py
