Overview

• Co-SemDepth is a real-time system for simultaneous semantic segmentation and depth estimation from aerial images
• Achieves 111 FPS on NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX embedded system
• Uses a shared encoder with task-specific decoders and cross-task attention
• Improves both tasks with minimal computational cost
• Outperforms specialized single-task models while using fewer parameters

Plain English Explanation

Drones and aerial vehicles need to understand what they're looking at and how far away objects are to navigate safely. Traditional methods solve these problems separately, which wastes computing power and battery life.
