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.
Abstract:
An apparatus for removing contamination for use with a distance measuring sensor, the apparatus comprising: a distance measuring module mounted inside or outside of a vehicle and configured to measure the distance between the vehicle and objects around the vehicle; a distance-based recognition unit configured to recognize a surround environment of the vehicle based on the distance measured by the distance measuring module; and a contamination removing module configured to measure the level of contamination on the distance measuring module and perform a cleaning with respect to an area where the contamination occurs when the measured level of contamination is above a preset threshold.
