DAPM: UAV Monocular Depth Estimation from Any Height, Pitch, Roll and FOV

Monocular depth estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for 3D reconstruction and autonomous navigation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In practical deployments, UAVs operate under highly dynamic camera poses characterized by continuous variations in height, pitch, roll, and field of view (FOV).
