System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving depth estimates for monocular images using a neural camera model that is independent of a camera type. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a monocular image from a pair of training images derived from a monocular video. The method includes generating, using a ray surface network, a ray surface that approximates an image character of the monocular image as produced by a camera having the camera type. The method includes creating a synthesized image according to at least the ray surface and a depth map associated with the monocular image.

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces. In some examples, the electronic device transitions between user interfaces for capturing photos based on data received from a first camera and a second camera. In some examples, the electronic device provides enhanced zooming capabilities that result in visual pleasing results for a displayed digital viewfinder and for captured videos. In some examples, the electronic device provides user interfaces for transitioning a digital viewfinder between a first camera with an applied digital zoom to a second camera with no digital zoom. In some examples, the electronic device prepares to capture media at various magnification levels. In some examples, the electronic device enhanced capabilities for navigating through a plurality of values.

An electronic device estimates a depth map of an environment based on matching reduced-resolution stereo depth images captured by depth cameras to generate a coarse disparity (depth) map. The electronic device downsamples depth images captured by the depth cameras and matches sections of the reduced-resolution images to each other to generate a coarse depth map. The electronic device upsamples the coarse depth map to a higher resolution and refines the upsampled depth map to generate a high-resolution depth map to support location-based functionality.
