With the Deep Learning revolution it seems to me that the vast majority of Computer Vision researchers and workers switched from 3D Computer Vision tasks to 2D topics such as Object Recognition. However, in the Robotics and AR/VR fields, classic stuff such as Stereo Vision, SLAM etc. is still relevant and I always see these skills listed in the job requirements for companies of the aforementioned fields. What is your opinion?

SLAM and structure from motion are basic techniques in drone navigation/mapping, which is currently experiencing a boom in demand due to the unmanned vehicle bubble.
