Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for multi-aperture ranging are disclosed. An embodiment of an image processing system includes at least one processor and memory configured to receive a multi-aperture image set that includes a high-resolution subaperture image and a low-resolution subaperture image, wherein the high-resolution subaperture image and the low-resolution subaperture image were captured simultaneously from a camera using dissimilar focal lengths, predict a high-resolution predicted disparity map from the high-resolution subaperture image using a neural network, predict a low-resolution predicted disparity map from the low-resolution subaperture image using the neural network, and generate an integrated range map from the high-resolution and low-resolution predicted disparity maps, wherein the integrated range map includes an array of range information that corresponds to the multi-aperture image set and that is generated by overlaying common points in both the high-resolution predicted disparity map and the low-resolution predicted disparity map.
