Can I use this to replace a LiDAR?
- garbthetill 1y agoif it does, then elon really won the bet of no lidar
- odie5533 1y agoAll he had to do was remove the LIDAR and wait 15-20 years for the tech to catch up. I'm sure Tesla owners don't mind waiting. They're used to it by now.
- HeWhoLurksLate 1y agothere's a huge difference between "feature that mostly works and is kinda neat" and "5000 pound robot relies on this to work all the time or people will probably get hurt at minimum" in how much you should trust a feature. Doesn't really matter if an imgTo3d script gets a face's depth map inverted, kinda problematic if your car doesn't think there's something where there is.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoI wasn't aware there was a competition or a bet.
- incone123 1y agoIt's generating a 3d world from a photo or other image, rather than giving you a 3d model of the real world.
- amelius 1y agoLook at the examples. It can generate a depth map.
- gs17 1y agoYes, but that's not a novel part of this. We've been able to do that for a while (a long while if you count binocular or time-of-flight vision systems).
- incone123 1y agoYes, which may be fine or not depending on the end goal of the person I replied to. Some applications need the certainty of LiDAR and others can tolerate it if the model makes some mistakes.
- ENGNR 1y agoDepends how many liberties it takes in imagining the world Lidar is direct measurement
- forrestthewoods 1y ago… absolutely not no this sentence doesn’t even make sense. Good grief orange site sometimes I swear.
