Self-supervised monocular depth estimation has been widely studied recently. Most of the work has focused on improving performance on benchmark datasets, such as KITTI, but has offered a few experiments on generalization performance. In this paper, we investigate the backbone networks (e.g., CNNs, Transformers, and CNN-Transformer hybrid models) toward the generalization of monocular depth estimation. We first evaluate state-of-the-art models on diverse public datasets, which have never been see

We propose a novel approach that generates a highquality depth map from a set of images captured with a small viewpoint variation, namely small motion clip. As opposed to prior methods that recover scene geometry and camera motions using pre-calibrated cameras, we introduce a self-calibrating bundle adjustment tailored for small motion. This allows our dense stereo algorithm to produce a high-quality depth map for the user without the need for camera calibration. In the dense matching, the distr

We present an end-to-end joint training framework that explicitly models 6-DoF motion of multiple dynamic objects, ego-motion, and depth in a monocular camera setup without supervision. Our technical contributions are three-fold. First, we highlight the fundamental difference between inverse and forward projection while modeling the individual motion of each rigid object, and propose a geometrically correct projection pipeline using a neural forward projection module. Second, we design a unified

Multiview stereo aims to reconstruct scene depth from images acquired by a camera under arbitrary motion. Recent methods address this problem through deep learning, which can utilize semantic cues to deal with challenges such as textureless and reflective regions. In this paper, we present a convolutional neural network called DPSNet (Deep Plane Sweep Network) whose design is inspired by best practices of traditional geometry-based approaches for dense depth reconstruction. Rather than directly

Detecting traffic participants is an essential and age-old problem in autonomous driving. Recently, the recognition of moving objects has emerged as a major issue in this field for safe driving. In this paper, we present RVMOS, a LiDAR Range-View-based Moving Object Segmentation framework that segments moving objects given a sequence of range-view images. In contrast to the conventional method, our network incorporates both motion and semantic features, each of which encodes the motion of object

In this paper, we present DRANet, a network architecture that disentangles image representations and transfers the visual attributes in a latent space for unsupervised cross-domain adaptation. Unlike the existing domain adaptation methods that learn associated features sharing a domain, DRANet preserves the distinctiveness of each domain’s characteristics. Our model encodes individual representations of content (scene structure) and style (artistic appearance) from both source and target images.

We present a practical 3D reconstruction method to obtain a high-quality dense depth map from narrow-baseline image sequences captured by commercial digital cameras, such as DSLRs or mobile phones. Depth estimation from small motion has gained interest as a means of various photographic editing, but important limitations present themselves in the form of depth uncertainty due to a narrow baseline and rolling shutter. To address these problems, we introduce a novel 3D reconstruction method from n

Depth from focus (DfF) is a method of estimating the depth of a scene by using information acquired through changes in the focus of a camera. Within the DfF framework of, the focus measure (FM) forms the foundation which determines the accuracy of the output. With the results from the FM, the role of a DfF pipeline is to determine and recalculate unreliable measurements while enhancing those that are reliable. In this paper, we propose a new FM, which we call the "ring difference filter" (RDF),

In this letter, we present a data-driven method for scene parsing of road scenes to utilize single-channel near-infrared (NIR) images. To overcome the lack of data problem in non-RGB spectrum, we define a new color space and decompose the task of deep scene parsing into two subtasks with two separate CNN architectures for chromaticity channels and semantic masks. For chromaticity estimation, we build a spatially-aligned RGB-NIR image database (40k urban scenes) to infer color information from RG

In this paper, we present an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) for depth completion. Our network consists of a geometry network and a context network. The geometry network, a single encoder-decoder network, learns to optimize a multi-task loss to generate an initial propagated depth map and a surface normal. The complementary outputs allow it to correctly propagate initial sparse depth points in slanted surfaces. The context network extracts a local and a global feature of an image t

Consumer devices with stereo cameras have become popular because of their low-cost depth sensing capability. However, those systems usually suffer from low imaging quality and inaccurate depth acquisition under low-light conditions. To address the problem, we present a new stereo matching method with a color and monochrome camera pair. We focus on the fundamental trade-off that monochrome cameras have much better light-efficiency than color-filtered cameras. Our key ideas involve compensating fo

Depth from focus (DfF) is a method of estimating depth of a scene by using the information acquired through the change of the focus of a camera. Within the framework of DfF, the focus measure (FM) forms the foundation on which the accuracy of the output is determined. With the result from the FM, the role of a DfF pipeline is to determine and recalculate unreliable measurements while enhancing those that are reliable. In this paper, we propose a new FM that more accurately and robustly measures

Structure from small motion has become an important topic in 3D computer vision as a method for estimating depth, since capturing the input is so user-friendly. However, major limitations exist with respect to the form of depth uncertainty, due to the narrow baseline and the rolling shutter effect. In this paper, we present a dense 3D reconstruction method from small motion clips using commercial hand-held cameras, which typically cause the undesired rolling shutter artifact. To address these pr

We propose a novel approach to infer a high-quality depth map from a set of images with small viewpoint variations. In general, techniques for depth estimation from small motion consist of camera pose estimation and dense reconstruction. In contrast to prior approaches that recover scene geometry and camera motions using pre-calibrated cameras, we introduce in this paper a self-calibrating bundle adjustment method tailored for small motion which enables computation of camera poses without the ne
