US Patent 11417007 Electronic apparatus and method for controlling thereof

A method of controlling an electronic apparatus includes acquiring an image and depth information of the acquired image; inputting the acquired image into a neural network model trained to acquire information on objects included in the acquired image; acquiring an intermediate feature value output by an intermediate layer of the neural network model; identifying a feature area for at least one object among the objects included in the acquired image based on the intermediate feature value; and acquiring distance information between the electronic apparatus and the at least one object based on the feature area for the at least one object and the depth information.
