Abstract

Disclosed are an image depth estimation method and device, a computer-readable storage medium and electronic equipment. The method includes: obtaining a first image frame and second image frame collected in a movement process of an electronic apparatus; determining a first feature map corresponding to the first image frame and a second feature map corresponding to the second image frame; determining a scaled inter-frame geometrical relationship between the first and second image frames; determining a reconstruction error between the first and second feature maps based on the inter-frame geometrical relationship; and determining a depth map corresponding to the first image frame based on the reconstruction error. According to embodiments of the disclosure, the reconstruction error between the first and second feature maps is determined by utilizing the inter-frame geometrical relationship, and explicit geometrical constraints are added for depth estimation, thereby improving the generalization of the depth estimation.
