Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to an improved approach to training a depth model to derive depth estimates from monocular images using cost volumes. In one embodiment, a method includes predicting, using a depth model, depth values from at least one input image that is a monocular image. The method includes generating a cost volume by sampling the depth values corresponding to bins of the cost volume. The method includes determining loss values for the bins of the cost volume. The method includes training the depth model according to the loss values of the cost volume.
