Morphology
The adjective 'monocular' literally means 'with a single eye/camera' and 'vision' denotes sight or visual processing; together they straightforwardly mean visual perception or vision using a single eye or camera. This adjective+noun composition is compositional and follows normal English patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will be able to infer the basic meaning (even if they miss specific technical implications in computer-vision contexts).
Etymology
Monocular vision uses the same parts mono ('one') and ocular ('eye') but in technology it makes you picture a robot or camera that looks with only one lens. So, it means using a single camera to understand a scene rather than 'two cameras' or extra sensors.
