Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for estimating a depth of an image. The method may include acquiring a first depth image based on left and right images collected from a stereo camera, estimating a second depth image based on any one of the left and right images, generating a depth estimation model based on first depth values within a depth range recognizable by the stereo camera in the first depth image and on second depth values of the second depth image matching the first depth values, and inputting third depth values of a range intended to be estimated in the second depth image to the depth estimation model, thereby estimating fourth depth values of the first depth image matching the third depth values.
Claims16
A method for estimating a depth of an image, comprising:
- acquiring a first depth image based on left and right images collected from a stereo camera;
- estimating a second depth image based on any one of the left and right images;
- generating a depth estimation model based on first depth values within a depth range recognized by the stereo camera in the first depth image and on second depth values of the second depth image matching the first depth values;
- and
- inputting third depth values of a region intended to be estimated in the second depth image to the depth estimation model, thereby estimating fourth depth values of the first depth image matching the third depth values.
An apparatus for estimating a depth of an image, comprising:
- memory in which a control program for estimating a depth of an image is stored;
- and
- a processor for executing the control program stored in the memory,
- wherein the processor acquires a first depth image based on left and right images collected from a stereo camera, estimates a second depth image based on any one of the left and right images, generates a depth estimation model based on first depth values within a depth range recognized by the stereo camera in the first depth image and on second depth values of the second depth image matching the first depth values, and inputs third depth values of a region intended to be estimated in the second depth image to the depth estimation model, thereby estimating fourth depth values of the first depth image matching the third depth values.
