A method for multi-camera monocular depth estimation using pose averaging is described. The method includes determining a multi-camera photometric loss associated with a multi-camera rig of an ego vehicle. The method also includes determining a multi-camera pose consistency constraint (PCC) loss associated with the multi-camera rig of the ego vehicle. The method further includes adjusting the multi-camera photometric loss according to the multi-camera PCC loss to form a multi-camera PCC photometric loss. The method also includes training a multi-camera depth estimation model and an ego-motion estimation model according to the multi-camera PCC photometric loss. The method further includes predicting a 360° point cloud of a scene surrounding the ego vehicle according to the trained multi-camera depth estimation model and the ego-motion estimation model.
