Title:
DEPTH ESTIMATION METHOD AND SYSTEM USING CYCLE GAN AND SEGMENTATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/206284
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a depth estimation method and system using cycle GAN and segmentation, the method and the system estimating depth information about an image by using only a single image through cycle GAN and segmentation without using special equipment or a camera. A depth estimation method using cycle GAN and segmentation, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: (S10) generating depth information and segmentation image information about an input RGB image of a standard database by using a generator; (S20) reconstructing an RGB image by using the generated depth information and segmentation image information; and (S30) calculating a loss and a discrimination probability by comparing the generated depth information and segmentation image information, and the reconstructed RGB image with the standard database, and discriminating same, respectively. In addition, the depth estimation method comprises the steps of: (S40) determining whether the loss and the discrimination probability value satisfy a preset reference convergence value, on the basis of the calculated result values; (S50) adjusting training on the basis of the determination result so that the loss and the discrimination probability value of a discriminator converge on the preset reference convergence value, and repeating steps (S10) to (S40); and (S60) estimating depth information about the RGB image by using a generator generated through steps (S10) to (S50).
