Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods for vehicle guidance. Stereo images may be obtained at different times using a stereo image sensor. A depth image may be determined based on an earlier obtained pair of stereo images. The depth image may be refined based on predictions of an earlier stereo image and a later obtained stereo image. Depth information for an environment around a vehicle may be obtained. The depth information may characterize distances between the vehicle and the environment around the vehicle. A spherical depth map may be generated from the depth information. Maneuver controls for the vehicle may be provided based on the spherical depth map.
