METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE DEPTH OF A SCENE BASED ON AN IMAGE AND COMPUTING APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G06T7/40 G06T1/40 

FIELD: computing technology.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to the field of computer technology for estimating the depth of a scene based on an image of the scene. The technical result is achieved due to the method for estimating the depth of a scene based on an image, containing the stages of: obtaining an image; estimating the depth of the scene in the image using a scale-independent model based on a neural network with a simplified architecture, trained using training images, wherein a mixture of images is used at each training iteration, randomly selected from training images with absolute data, training images with UTS (Up-to-Scale) data, and training images with UTSS (Up-to-Shift-Scale) data in random proportions.

EFFECT: increase in the accuracy and reliability of estimating the depth of a scene based on a single image on a computing apparatus.
