Abstract
An apparatus for estimating a depth is introduced. The apparatus may comprise a camera configured to capture an image may comprise an object, and a processor configured to perform, based on a deep learning model, a deep learning process associated with the image, obtain, based on the deep learning process associated with the image, a first depth value, obtain a partial image by masking a partial region of the image, perform, based on the deep learning model, a deep learning process associated with the partial image, obtain, based on the deep learning process associated with the partial image, a second depth value, train the deep learning model to reduce a deviation between the first depth value and the second depth value, and estimate, based on the trained deep learning model, a depth of the object.
