In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed that detect hazards on a roadway by identifying discontinuities between pixels on a depth map. For example, two synchronized stereo cameras mounted on an ego-machine may generate images that may be used extract depth or disparity information. Because a hazard's height may cause an occlusion of the driving surface behind the hazard from a perspective of a camera(s), a discontinuity in disparity values may indicate the presence of a hazard. For example, the system may analyze pairs of pixels on the depth map and, when the system determines that a disparity between a pair of pixels satisfies a disparity threshold, the system may identify the pixel nearest the ego-machine as a hazard pixel.
