Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the existing supervised learning CNN model for monocular depth estimation can only predict and output the depth map, and cannot estimate and output the uncertainty distribution map corresponding to the depth map at the same time, making the existing monocular depth estimation The accuracy of the depth map on the network model preview side is not high

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a depth estimation method and apparatus of a monocular video, a terminal, and a storage medium. The method includes steps: obtaining an image frame sequence of the monocular video, and calculating an attitude relation between each two adjacent image frames in the sequence according to a camera attitude estimation algorithm; regarding the image frames in the sequence as input of a preset neural network model in sequence, and determining an initial depth map and an initial uncertainty distribution map of each image frame according to output of the presetneural network model; performing inter-frame information transmission and fusion according to the attitude relations and the initial depth maps and the initial uncertainty distribution maps of the image frames, and determining final depth maps and final uncertainty distribution maps of the image frames in sequence. According to the technical scheme, depth restoration of the image frames of the monocular video can be performed, the prediction precision of the depth maps can be improved, and the uncertainty distribution of the depth maps can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to image processing technologies, and in particular to a method, device, terminal and storage medium for depth estimation of monocular video. Background technique [0002] In the field of computer vision research, more and more people are studying the monocular depth estimation method, that is, using the mapping relationship between the hidden visual information in a single image, such as size, shadow, plane, etc., and the real depth value. Do depth estimation. Monocular depth estimation has many applications, such as scene understanding, semantic segmentation, 3D modeling, robot obstacle avoidance, etc. Traditional monocular estimation methods mainly rely on Structure-from-Motion (SfM) technology, or Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology based on monocular cameras, which is widely used in the field of robotics. SfM and SLAM use multi-view images to estimate the attitude of the monocular c...
