DEPTH ESTIMATION APPARATUS, AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE USING THE SAME, AND DEPTH ESTIMATION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

In one of the exemplary embodiments, the disclosure is directed to a depth estimation apparatus including a first type of sensor for generating a first sensor data; a second type of sensor for generating a second sensor data; and a processor coupled to the first type of sensor and the second type of sensor and configured at least for: processing the first sensor data by using two stage segmentation algorithms to generate a first segmentation result and a second segmentation resu synchronizing parameters of the first segmentation result and parameters of the second sensor data to generate a synchronized second sensor data; fusing the first segmentation result, the synchronized second sensor data, and the second segmentation result by using two stage depth estimation algorithms to generate a first depth result and a second depth result.
