SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELF-SUPERVISED MONOCULAR GROUND-PLANE EXTRACTION

A method for controlling an agent to navigate through an environment includes generating a depth map associated with a monocular image of the environment. The method also includes generating a group of surface normal. Each surface normal of the group of surface normals is associated with a respective polygon of a group of polygons associated with the depth map. The method further includes identifying one or more ground planes in the depth map based on the group of surface normal. The method further includes controlling the agent to navigate through the environment based on identifying the one or more ground planes.
