Depth Loss #38

Closed kkaytekin closed 1 month ago

kkaytekin commented 1 month ago

Hello, in the paper, in page 5, the equation 3 is referenced to 32: "Depth map prediction from a single image using a multi-scale deep network" from Eigen et. al. . But looking at this reference couldn't answer the following:

What is the reason to put the loss term in a square root there?

Sum of squares will always be $\geq$ square of sums, so the square root in this formulation will always be safe to use, but what is the underlying reason to do so?

Best regards,
