Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive image data from a camera, generate a depth map from the image data, detect an object in the image data, apply a bounding box circumscribing the object to the depth map, mask the depth map by setting depth values for pixels in the bounding box in the depth map to a depth value of a closest pixel in the bounding box, and determine a distance to the object based on the masked depth map. The closest pixel is closest to the camera of the pixels in the bounding box.
