Bashayer Abdallah

I am a PhD candidate under the supervision of Dr Shan E Ahmed Raza, specialising in monocular depth estimation. My research focuses on developing advanced methods for predicting depth from single RGB images, with a particular emphasis on enhancing edge preservation and structural consistency within depth maps. By integrating edge-aware techniques, my work aims to improve the accuracy, robustness, and visual quality of monocular depth estimation models.

My PhD is funded by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research - KISRLink opens in a new window.
