Because the failure modes are different. Humans with basically 100% accuracy both correctly recognize depth and put it into the right bucket of near/far but are woefully bad at estimating the numeric distance. So you’re right that you don’t need to do better than extremely coarse estimates like close, a few car lengths, in the distance, etc.. If computer vision fails at all to recognize depth (semi truck with clouds painted on it isn’t recognized) or misclassifies whether something is near or far that’s much more dangerous. |
