Mono Depth Perception

This is a competition run by AIcrowd & Amazon Prime Air, focusing on images of a single downward camera to estimate the scene’s depth and perform semantic segmentation. As a result, these two tasks can help the development of safe and reliable autonomous control systems for aircraft.

The objective of this challenge is to encourage the advancement of completely self-governing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) through the introduction of a fresh dataset of drone imagery. The dataset is intended to serve as a benchmark for semantic segmentation and mono-depth perception and contains realistic backyard scenarios with diverse content, captured at various Above Ground Level (AGL) ranges.

The two fundamental components of this project pertaining to computer vision are semantic segmentation and depth perception. Through this challenge, the Computer Vision community is encouraged to innovate and enhance the cutting-edge perception tasks related to drone images. The focus in this particular task is on the mono-depth estimation.
