About

Shlomi Amitai is a leading researcher in computer vision and robotics, with a specialized focus on underwater perception and autonomous systems. His primary research areas include monocular depth estimation, self-supervised learning, and visual odometry in challenging aquatic environments. Amitai’s most significant contribution is his pioneering work on self-supervised monocular depth estimation for underwater settings, where he addresses the critical challenge of depth perception—essential for any robotic system—that has historically lagged behind due to the medium’s distorting effects on appearance. His 2023 paper, "Self-Supervised Monocular Depth Underwater," has garnered 16 citations, reflecting its growing influence in the field. By developing methods that eliminate the need for costly ground-truth depth labels, Amitai has advanced the practical deployment of autonomous underwater vehicles for exploration, inspection, and monitoring. His work stands out for tackling a domain where traditional techniques fail, and he continues to push the boundaries of robust perception in degraded visual conditions.
