Depth Estimation From A Single Rgb Image Using Target Foreground And Background Scene Variations

This paper proposes a new technique to achieve a person's depth from a single image by considering the target foreground and background scene variations in extreme weather conditions within 40 meters range. For this purpose series of images are captured on each person at successive intervals. The height, distance, foreground, and background features are extracted using an object detection deep learning framework. The obtained features are then subsequently trained by the Gradient Booster Regressor to predict the depth information. Furthermore, the algorithm is tested on various images and is validated with ground truth depth data. The findings presented in this paper attest to the reliability of the methodology used for depth estimation.
