Depth Estimation

dɛpθ ˌɛstəˈmeɪʃən

Depth estimation is a computer vision technique used to determine the distance of objects from a viewpoint. It involves analyzing images or video frames to infer the spatial arrangement of objects in a scene. Depth estimation can be achieved using various methods, including stereo vision, monocular depth prediction, and LiDAR data. This technique has applications in autonomous driving, robotics, augmented reality, and 3D scene reconstruction. By providing depth information, it enhances the understanding of a scene, allowing for better interaction between machines and their environments.
