  We present an unsupervised learning framework for the task of monocular depth
and camera motion estimation from unstructured video sequences. We achieve this
by simultaneously training depth and camera pose estimation networks using the
task of view synthesis as the supervisory signal. The networks are thus coupled
via the view synthesis objective during training, but can be applied
independently at test time. Empirical evaluation on the KITTI dataset
demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach: 1) monocular depth performing
comparably with supervised methods that use either ground-truth pose or depth
for training, and 2) pose estimation performing favorably with established SLAM
systems under comparable input settings.
