Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to using a language model to facilitate training a depth model for monocular depth estimation. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring an image depicting surrounding objects present in an environment. The method includes generating a depth map from the image using a depth model that performs monocular depth estimation. The method includes analyzing the depth map to derive a semantic loss according to a language model. The method includes training the depth model according to at least the semantic loss.
