Descriptive Statistics
Computer Vision
The process of predicting the distance of each pixel in an image from the camera.
Detailed Explanation
Depth estimation in computer vision involves predicting the distance from the camera to every pixel within an image. By analyzing disparities between stereo images or using monocular cues, algorithms generate depth maps that enable 3D understanding of scenes. This technique is essential for applications like autonomous navigation, robotics, and augmented reality, enhancing scene interpretation and interaction.
Use Cases
- •Use case: Autonomous vehicles use depth estimation to perceive surroundings and navigate safely through complex environments.
