Abstract
Systems, techniques, and devices for performing long range depth estimation are described. Multiple images of a scene are captured via at least three imaging sensors of a camera device. A first imaging sensor is separated from a second imaging sensor by a first baseline, and a third imaging sensor is separated from the first imaging sensor by a second baseline larger than the first baseline. A first point cloud is generated based on a first image and a second image captured by the first imaging sensor and the second imaging sensor, respectively. A second point cloud is generated based on the first image and a third image captured by the first imaging sensor and the third imaging sensor, respectively. Depth information of the scene is generated based on the first point cloud and the second point cloud.
