This study proposes a method to overcome the limited detection range of short-baseline stereo cameras (SBSCs). The proposed method includes two steps: (1) predicting an unscaled initial depth using monocular depth estimation (MDE) and (2) adjusting the unscaled initial depth by a scale factor. The scale factor is computed by triangulating the sparse visual keypoints extracted from the left and right images of the SBSC. The proposed method allows the use of any pre-trained MDE model without the need for additional training or data collection, making it efficient even when considering the computational constraints of small platforms. Using an open dataset, the performance of the proposed method was demonstrated by comparing it with other conventional stereobased depth estimation methods.
