(_arXiv, aware_) - [Occlusion for Free: Detecting Occlusion from the Disagreement Between Two Monocular Distance Cues](): We show that occlusion can be read off two distance estimates a camera-only pipeline already computes. Apparent height is largely unchanged by occlusion, because the detected box still spans the whole person; monocular metric depth is pulled toward the occluder, because the nearest surface inside the box is what a depth map reports.
