• Abstract: Deep-learning-based approaches to depth estimation are rapidly advancing, offering superior performance over existing methods. To estimate the depth in real-world scenarios, depth estimation models require the robustness of various noise environments. In this work, a Pyramid Frequency Network(PFN) with Spatial Attention Residual Refinement Module(SARRM) is proposed to deal with the weak robustness of existing deep-learning methods. To reconstruct depth maps with accurate details, the SARRM constructs a residual fusion method with an attention mechanism to refine the blur depth. The frequency division strategy is designed, and the frequency pyramid network is developed to extract features from multiple frequency bands. With the frequency strategy, PFN achieves better visual accuracy than state-of-the-art methods in both indoor and outdoor scenes on Make3D, KITTI depth, and NYUv2 datasets. Additional experiments on the noisy NYUv2 dataset demonstrate that PFN is more reliable than existing deep-learning methods in high-noise scenes.

  This paper presents a novel approach that identifies and integrates dominant cross-modality depth features with a learning-based framework. We propose a novel confidence loss steering a confidence predictor network to yield a confidence map specifying latent potential depth areas. With the resulting confidence map, we propose a multi-modal fusion network that fuses the final depth in an end-to-end manner.

  Feature-based visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods only estimate the depth of extracted features. depth completion tasks that estimate a dense depth from a sparse depth have gained significant importance in robotic applications like exploration. We propose a mesh depth refinement (MDR) module to address this problem. The Struct-MDC outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms on public and our custom datasets.

  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.

  In this paper, we advocate that replicating the traditional two stages framework with deep neural networks improves both the interpretability and the accuracy of the results. Our network operates in two steps: 1) the local computation of the local depth maps with a deep MVS technique, and, 2) the depth maps and images' features fusion to build a single TSDF volume. In order to improve the matching performance between images acquired from very different viewpoints, we introduce a rotation-invariant 3D convolution kernel called PosedConv.
