Abstract: There is provided a depth estimation method for a small baseline-stereo camera through LiDAR sensor fusion. A depth map estimation method according to an embodiment may estimate a high-resolution depth map from a small baseline-stereo image based on deep learning, by using transfer learning from a deep learning network that is trained to estimate a depth map from a wide baseline-stereo image. Accordingly, in a device which has a small baseline-stereo camera installed therein due to structural constraints, such as a smartphone, a wearable AR/VR device, a drone, 3D image quality can be enhanced. In addition, according to embodiments, pseudo-LiDAR data may be generated by using a depth map estimated from a small baseline-stereo image, and may be used for replacing or reinforcing LiDAR data.

Abstract: There is provided an emotion prediction method based on virtual facial expression image augmentation. The emotion prediction method may acquire a user facial image, may extract a facial expression feature from the acquired user facial image, and may predict a user emotion from the extracted facial expression feature. The emotion prediction method may extract the facial expression feature by using a facial expression recognition network, the facial expression recognition network being an AI model that is trained to receive a user facial image and to extract a facial expression feature. The facial expression recognition network is retrained with virtual facial images which are augmented from a facial image that causes a failure in emotion recognition. Accordingly, by augmenting features of a facial expression image that causes a failure in prediction through error feedback, facial expression recognition performance can be enhanced.
