The researchers have introduced an AI algorithm named MonoXiver, which can extract three-dimensional information from 2D images. This algorithm uses a standard monocular camera to construct reliable 3D maps. Beyond autonomous driving, the applications of MonoXiver span robotics, environmental monitoring, and medical imaging. The algorithm innovatively transforms 2D images into 3D maps, showcasing broad practical potential. MonoXiver is one of the research achievements of the team led by Xianpeng Liu at North Carolina State University.
