Abstract:
A method includes obtaining a reference image and a target image each representing an environment containing moving features and static features. The method also includes determining an object mask configured to mask out the moving features and preserves the static features in the target image. The method additionally includes determining, based on motion parallax between the reference image and the target image, a static depth image representing depth values of the static features in the target image. The method further includes generating, by way of a machine learning model, a dynamic depth image representing depth values of both the static features and the moving features in the target image. The model is trained to generate the dynamic depth image by determining depth values of at least the moving features based on the target image, the object mask, and the static depth image.
