Depth estimation plays a pivotal role in advancing human-robot interactions, especially in indoor environments where accurate 3D scene reconstruction is essential for tasks like navigation and object handling. Monocular depth estimation, which relies on a single RGB camera, offers a more affordable solution compared to traditional methods that use stereo cameras or LiDAR. However, despite recent progress, many monocular approaches struggle with accurately defining depth boundaries, leading to less precise reconstructions.

The definitive diagnosis of histology specimen images is largely based on the radiologist's comprehensive experience; however, due to the fine to the coarse visual appearance of such images, experts often disagree with their assessments. Sophisticated deep learning approaches can help to automate the diagnosis process of the images and reduce the analysis duration. More efficient and accurate automated systems can also increase the diagnostic impartiality by reducing the difference between the operators.

Handwritten character recognition is increasingly important in a variety of automation fields, for example, authentication of bank signatures, identification of ZIP codes on letter addresses, and forensic evidence. Despite improved object recognition technologies, Pashto's hand-written character recognition (PHCR) remains largely unsolved due to the presence of many enigmatic hand-written characters, enormously cursive Pashto characters, and lack of research attention. We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for recognition of Pashto hand-written characters for the first time in an unrestricted environment.
