DDD++: Exploiting Density map consistency for Deep Depth estimation in indoor environments by Giovanni Pintore, Marco Agus, Alberto Signoroni, Enrico Gobbetti

“…We introduce a novel deep neural network designed for fast and structurally consistent monocular 360° depth estimation in indoor settings. Our model generates a spherical depth map from a single gravity-aligned or gravity-rectified equirectangular image, ensuring the predicted depth aligns with the typical depth distribution and structural features of cluttered indoor spaces, which are generally enclosed by walls, floors, and ceilings. …”
