1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, by a processing device, image patches of a first image of a scene corresponding to a depth map; determining, by the processing device and for each image patch, a respective depth range comprising possible depth values; determining, by the processing device and based on the determined depth ranges, estimated increases in depth precision for respective image patches, the estimated increases in depth perception associated with a modification to configuration settings of a camera; generating, by the processing device and based on the estimated increases in depth precision, a depth refinement image capture instruction including the modification to configuration settings; and outputting, by the processing device, the depth refinement image capture instruction usable by the camera when capturing a second image of the scene for refining the depth map.
