Abstract
A system for estimating depth using a monocular camera may include one or more processors, a monocular camera, and a memory device. The monocular camera and the memory device may be operably connected to the one or more processors. The memory device may include an image capture, an encoder-decoder module, a semantic information generating module, and a depth map generating module. The modules may configure the one or more processors to executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to obtain a captured image from the monocular camera, generate a synthesized image based on the captured image wherein the style transfer module was trained using a generative adversarial network, generate, a feature map based on the synthesized image, generate semantic information based on the feature map, and generate a depth map based on the feature map and the semantic information.
