Depth Estimation

Depth estimation is the process of determining how far away objects are from a viewpoint, often in 3D space. This is commonly used in fields like photography, robotics, and augmented reality. By analyzing visual information, such as the size of objects or the way they overlap, depth estimation helps create a sense of distance and dimension. Technologies like stereo vision, which uses two cameras to mimic human eyesight, or depth sensors, assist in capturing this information. This capability enhances our understanding of environments, improving navigation and interaction with the world around us.
