Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to retrofit vision assist systems for vehicles based on monocular depth estimation. In one embodiment, a method for operating a depth system of a vehicle includes acquiring a camera image from a monocular camera that is retrofitted to a vehicle. The method also includes estimating depth information of features in the camera image to output a depth map including three-dimensional data associated with the camera image. The method also includes generating an annotated image based on the three-dimensional data. The method further includes displaying the annotated image to aid a driver in understanding a surrounding environment of the vehicle.
