Abstract
A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to receive a monocular image and provide the image to a variational autoencoder neural network (VAE), wherein the VAE has been trained in a twin configuration that includes a first encoder-decoder pair that receives as input unlabeled real images and outputs reconstructed real images, and a second encoder-decoder pair that receives as input synthetic images and outputs reconstructed synthetic images and wherein the VAE includes third and fourth decoders that are trained using labeled synthetic images, segmentation ground truth and depth ground truth. The instructions can include further instructions to output from the VAE a segmentation map and a depth map based on inputting the monocular image.
