==CONTINUOUS SURFACE AND DEPTH ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18435797 titled 'CONTINUOUS SURFACE AND DEPTH ESTIMATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that uses stereo vision to estimate the depth and surface normal of physical objects within a predetermined window.

* The system utilizes stereo vision to determine the depth and surface normal of physical objects.
* The estimation is continuous and limited within a predetermined window.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various fields such as:
* Robotics for object recognition and manipulation
* Autonomous vehicles for obstacle detection and navigation
* Augmented reality for accurate object placement in virtual environments

== Problems Solved ==
* Accurate depth and surface normal estimation of physical objects
* Continuous estimation within a limited window
* Improved object recognition and manipulation capabilities

== Benefits ==
* Enhanced precision in depth estimation
* Improved surface normal determination for realistic object rendering
* Increased efficiency in object recognition tasks

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimized for SEO: "Applications of Continuous Surface and Depth Estimation Technology"
* Manufacturing industries for quality control processes
* Surveillance systems for enhanced object tracking capabilities
* Medical imaging for precise measurements and diagnostics

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be existing technologies or patents related to stereo vision systems for depth estimation or object recognition, but specific prior art is not provided in this article.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to existing depth estimation methods? ===
This article does not provide a comparison with other depth estimation techniques. 

=== What are the limitations of the predetermined window in the stereo vision system? ===
The article does not address any potential limitations or challenges associated with the predetermined window in the system.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for continuous surface and depth estimation. A continuous surface and depth estimation system determines the depth and surface normal of physical objects by using stereo vision limited within a predetermined window.
