"Image processing framework for performing object depth estimation" was invented by Kuang-Man Huang (Zhubei, Taiwan) and Michel Adib Sarkis (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed are techniques for processing image data. In some aspects, a three-dimensional model can be determined corresponding to an object in an input image. Based on the three-dimensional model, an estimated focal length can be determined that corresponds to the input image. An estimated depth associated with the object in the input image can be calculated based on the estimated focal len...
