Edge-guided ranking loss for monocular depth prediction

Abstract:

In order to provide monocular depth prediction, a trained neural network may be used. To train the neural network, edge detection on a digital image may be performed to determine at least one edge of the digital image, and then a first point and a second point of the digital image may be sampled, based on the at least one edge. A relative depth between the first point and the second point may be predicted, and the neural network may be trained to perform monocular depth prediction using a loss function that compares the predicted relative depth with a ground truth relative depth between the first point and the second point.
