Abstract

An image processing system to estimate depth for a scene. The image processing system includes a fusion engine to receive a first depth estimate from a geometric reconstruction engine and a second depth estimate from a neural network architecture. The fusion engine is configured to probabilistically fuse the first depth estimate and the second depth estimate to output a fused depth estimate for the scene. The fusion engine is configured to receive a measurement of uncertainty for the first depth estimate from the geometric reconstruction engine and a measurement of uncertainty for the second depth estimate from the neural network architecture, and use the measurements of uncertainty to probabilistically fuse the first depth estimate and the second depth estimate.
