Abstract

A method for estimating depth of a scene includes selecting an image of the scene from a sequence of images of the scene captured via an in-vehicle sensor of a first agent. The method also includes identifying previously captured images of the scene. The method further includes selecting a set of images from the previously captured images based on each image of the set of images satisfying depth criteria. The method still further includes estimating the depth of the scene based on the selected image and the selected set of images.
