Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method for generating a depth map by using a volumetric feature. The method may generate a single feature map for a base image included in a surround-view image by performing encoding and postprocessing on the base image, and generate a volumetric feature by encoding the single feature map with depth information and then projecting a result of the encoding into a three-dimensional space. In this method, a depth map of a surround-view image may be generated by using a depth decoder to decode a volumetric feature.
