Depth estimation produces a per-pixel distance map from a normal image, no depth sensor needed. It lets effects sit correctly in front of or behind objects, supports robotics and AR, and adds geometry to otherwise flat footage.
Definition
Predicting how far each pixel is from the camera, from ordinary 2D video. Enables 3D effects, occlusion-aware AR, and scene understanding.
