• Abstract summary: Various techniques have been proposed to estimate a dense depth map based on fusion of the sparse depth map measurement with the RGB image. Recent advances in hardware enable adaptive depth measurements resulting in further improvement of the dense depth map estimation. We show that such adaptive sampling masks can generalize well to many RGB and sparse depth fusion algorithms under a variety of sampling rates.

• Abstract: Dense depth map capture is challenging in existing active sparse illumination based depth acquisition techniques, such as LiDAR. Various techniques have been proposed to estimate a dense depth map based on fusion of the sparse depth map measurement with the RGB image. Recent advances in hardware enable adaptive depth measurements resulting in further improvement of the dense depth map estimation. In this paper, we study the topic of estimating dense depth from depth sampling. The adaptive sparse depth sampling network is jointly trained with a fusion network of an RGB image and sparse depth, to generate optimal adaptive sampling masks. We show that such adaptive sampling masks can generalize well to many RGB and sparse depth fusion algorithms under a variety of sampling rates (as low as $0.0625\%$). The proposed adaptive sampling method is fully differentiable and flexible to be trained end-to-end with upstream perception algorithms.

  Image-guided depth completion aims at generating a dense depth map from sparse LiDAR data and RGB image. Recent methods have shown promising performance by reformulating it as a classification problem with two sub-tasks: depth discretization and probability prediction. We propose a progressive depth decoupling and modulating network, which incrementally decouples the depth range into bins and adaptively generates multi-scale dense depth maps.

  We present a framework that leverages polarization imaging to improve inaccurate depth measurements from various depth sensors. Our method first adopts a learning-based strategy where a neural network is trained to estimate a dense and complete depth map from polarization data and a sensor depth map from different sensors. To further improve the performance, we propose a Polarization Prompt Fusion Tuning (PPFT) strategy to effectively utilize RGB-based models pre-trained on large-scale datasets.

  In this paper, we design a novel two-branch end-to-end fusion network, which takes a pair of RGB and incomplete depth images as input to predict a dense and completed depth map. In one branch, we propose an RGB-depth fusion GAN to transfer the RGB image to the fine-grained textured depth map. In the other branch, we adopt adaptive fusion modules named W-AdaIN to propagate the features across the two branches.

  We propose a novel multi-task and multi-modal filtered transformer (MMFT) network for RGB-D salient object detection (SOD) Specifically, we unify three complementary tasks: depth estimation, salient object detection and contour estimation. The multi-task mechanism promotes the model to learn the task-aware features from the auxiliary tasks. Experiments show that it not only significantly surpasses the depth-based RGB-D SOD methods on multiple datasets, but also precisely predicts a high-quality depth map and salient contour at the same time.
