Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods that allow for dense depth map estimation given input images. In one or more embodiments, a neural network model was developed that significantly differs from prior approaches. Embodiments of the deep neural network model comprises more computationally efficient structures and fewer layers but still produces good quality results. Also, in one or more embodiments, the deep neural network model may be specially configured and trained to operate using a hardware accelerator component or components that can speed computation and produce good results, even if lower precision bit representations are used during computation at the hardware accelerator component.
