  • Depth map estimation with stereo images
    Patent number: 10466714
    Abstract: Vehicles can be equipped to operate in both autonomous and occupant piloted mode. While operating in either mode, an array of sensors can be used to pilot the vehicle including stereo cameras and 3D sensors. Stereo camera and 3D sensors can also be employed to assist occupants while piloting vehicles. Deep convolutional neural networks can be employed to determine estimated depth maps from stereo images of scenes in real time for vehicles in autonomous and occupant piloted modes.
