• Abstract summary: We analyze state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation models in indoor scenes to understand these models' limitations and error patterns. To address errors in depth estimation, we introduce a novel Depth Error Detection Network (DEDN) that spatially identifies erroneous depth predictions. Our module is flexible and can be readily plugged into any monocular depth prediction network to help diagnose its results.

• Abstract: Estimating depth from a monocular image is an ill-posed problem: when the camera projects a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, depth information is inherently and permanently lost. Nevertheless, recent work has shown impressive results in estimating 3D structure from 2D images using deep learning. In this paper, we put on an introspective hat and analyze state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation models in indoor scenes to understand these models' limitations and error patterns. To address errors in depth estimation, we introduce a novel Depth Error Detection Network (DEDN) that spatially identifies erroneous depth predictions in the monocular depth estimation models. By experimenting with multiple state-of-the-art monocular indoor depth estimation models on multiple datasets, we show that our proposed depth error detection network can identify a significant number of errors in the predicted depth maps. Our module is flexible and can be readily plugged into any monocular depth prediction network to help diagnose its results. Additionally, we propose a simple yet effective Depth Error Correction Network (DECN) that iteratively corrects errors based on our initial error diagnosis.

  We propose a novel Geometry Uncertainty Propagation Network (GUPNet++) It models the uncertainty propagation relationship of the geometry projection during training, improving the stability and efficiency of the end-to-end model learning. Experiments show that the proposed approach not only obtains (state-of-the-art) SOTA performance in image-based monocular 3D detection but also demonstrates superiority in efficacy with a simplified framework.

  We propose a method to boost the RGB image-based 3D detector by jointly training the detection network with a depth prediction loss analogous to the depth estimation task. Our novel object-centric depth prediction loss focuses on depth around foreground objects, which is important for 3D object detection. Our depth regression model is further trained to predict the uncertainty of depth to represent the 3D confidence of objects.

  We propose a two-stage framework that first predicts depth up to an unknown scale and shift from a single monocular image. We then exploits 3D point cloud data to predict the depth shift and the camera's focal length that allow us to recover 3D scene shapes. We test our depth model on nine unseen datasets and achieve state-of-the-art performance on zero-shot evaluation.

  3D object detection is an important capability needed in various practical applications such as driver assistance systems. Monocular 3D detection, as an economical solution compared to conventional settings relying on binocular vision or LiDAR, has drawn increasing attention recently but still yields unsatisfactory results. This paper first presents a systematic study on this problem and observes that the current monocular 3D detection problem can be simplified as an instance depth estimation problem.
