Pix2Pix-Based Monocular Depth Estimation for Drones with Optical Flow on AirSim

In this work, we propose a method for estimating depth for an image of a monocular camera in order to avoid a collision for the autonomous flight of a drone. The highest flight speed of a drone is generally approximate 22.2 m/s, and long-distant depth information is crucial for autonomous flights si...
