Abstract
A depth prediction model for predicting a depth map from an input image is disclosed. The depth prediction model leverages wavelet decomposition to minimize computations. The depth prediction model comprises a plurality of encoding layers, a coarse prediction layer, a plurality of decoding layers, and a plurality of inverse discrete wavelet transforms (IDWTs). The encoding layers are configured to input the image and to downsample the image into feature maps including a coarse feature map. The coarse depth prediction layer is configured to input the coarse feature map and to output a coarse depth map. The decoding layers are configured to input the feature maps and to predict wavelet coefficients based on the feature maps. The IDWTs are configured to upsample the coarse depth map based on the predicted wavelet coefficients to the final depth map at the same resolution as the input image.
