Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to generating depth data from a video. As an example, one or more computing devices may receive an initialization request for a still image capture mode. After receiving the request to initialize the still image capture mode, the one or more computing devices may automatically begin to capture a video including a plurality of image frames. The one or more computing devices track features between a first image frame of the video and each of the other image frames of the video. Points corresponding to the tracked features may be generated by the one or more computing devices using a set of assumptions. The assumptions may include a first assumption that there is no rotation and a second assumption that there is no translation. The one or more computing devices then generate a depth map based at least in part on the points.
