• Abstract: We introduce FaDIV-Syn, a fast depth-independent view synthesis method. Our multi-view approach addresses the problem that view synthesis methods are often limited by their depth estimation stage, where incorrect depth predictions can lead to large projection errors. To avoid this issue, we efficiently warp multiple input images into the target frame for a range of assumed depth planes. The resulting tensor representation is fed into a U-Net-like CNN with gated convolutions, which directly produces the novel output view. We therefore side-step explicit depth estimation. This improves efficiency and performance on transparent, reflective, and feature-less scene parts. FaDIV-Syn can handle both interpolation and extrapolation tasks and outperforms state-of-the-art extrapolation methods on the large-scale RealEstate10k dataset. In contrast to comparable methods, it is capable of real-time operation due to its lightweight architecture. We further demonstrate data efficiency of FaDIV-Syn by training from fewer examples as well as its generalization to higher resolutions and arbitrary depth ranges under severe depth discretization.

  DiffusionDepth is a new approach that reformulates monocular depth estimation as a denoising diffusion process. It learns an iterative denoising process to denoise' random depth distribution into a depth map with the guidance of monocular visual conditions. Experimental results on KITTI and NYU-Depth-V2 datasets suggest that a simple yet efficient diffusion approach could reach state-of-the-art performance in both indoor and outdoor scenarios with acceptable inference time.
