US Patent Issued to TOYOTA RESEARCH INSTITUTE on June 17 for "Scale-aware self-supervised monocular depth with sparse radar supervision" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 19 -- United States Patent no. 12,333,744, issued on June 17, was assigned to TOYOTA RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC. (Los Altos, Calif.).

"Scale-aware self-supervised monocular depth with sparse radar supervision" was invented by Vitor Guizilini (Santa Clara, Calif.) and Charles Christopher Ochoa (San Francisco).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods are provided for training a depth model to recover scale factor for self-supervised depth estimation in monocular images. Examples include deriving a depth map for an image based on a depth model. The depth map comprises depth values for pixels of the image. A first scale for the image can be estimated based on the depth ...
