It estimates depths from the single image by using our <a href=\"http:\/\/ai.stanford.edu\/~asaxena\/learningdepth\">monocular vision algorithm<\/a>, developed in 2005. It captures a variety of monocular cues and learns the relations between different parts of the image using a machine learning technique called Markov Random Field (MRF). Our algorithm first divides the image into small patches and analyzes them at multiple scales to estimate each of the patches&#8217; 3-d location and 3-d orientation. More details could be found <a href=\"http:\/\/ai.stanford.edu\/~asaxena\/reconstruction3d\">here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The smarter ones amongst you would have realized that what the above means is that the program is pretty much guessing.
