A Study on Depth Estimation from Single Image Using Neural Networks

Depth estimation is fundamental in upcoming technology advancements like scene understanding, robot vision, intelligent driver assistance systems, and many new technologies. Estimating the depth of objects from a viewport can be achieved using various mathematical, geometrical, and stereo concepts, but the process is unaffordable and erroneous. Depth estimation from a single can be accurately done using neural networks. Although this is a challenging task, researchers around the globe have published various works. The works include different neural network standards like CNN, GANs, Encoder-Decoder. The paper analyses and examines famous works in this field of study. Later in the paper, a comparative survey of depth estimation approaches using neural networks is done.
