Definition
The process of predicting the distance of each pixel in an image from the camera.
Detailed Explanation
Depth estimation can be performed using various approaches including stereo vision structure from motion or monocular depth estimation using deep learning. Modern methods often use CNNs to learn depth from single images by exploiting contextual cues and scene understanding.
Use Cases
1. Autonomous navigation 2. 3D scene reconstruction 3. Augmented reality 4. Robot manipulation
