• Abstract: Attention-based models such as transformers have shown outstanding performance on dense prediction tasks, such as semantic segmentation, owing to their capability of capturing long-range dependency in an image. However, the benefit of transformers for monocular depth prediction has seldom been explored so far. This paper benchmarks various transformer-based models for the depth estimation task on an indoor NYUV2 dataset and an outdoor KITTI dataset. We propose a novel attention-based architecture, Depthformer for monocular depth estimation that uses multi-head self-attention to produce the multiscale feature maps, which are effectively combined by our proposed decoder network. We also propose a Transbins module that divides the depth range into bins whose center value is estimated adaptively per image. The final depth estimated is a linear combination of bin centers for each pixel. Transbins module takes advantage of the global receptive field using the transformer module in the encoding stage. Experimental results on NYUV2 and KITTI depth estimation benchmark demonstrate that our proposed method improves the state-of-the-art by 3.3%, and 3.3% respectively in terms of Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).

  It is challenging to acquire dense ground truth depth labels for supervised training, and the unsupervised depth estimation using monocular sequences emerges as a promising alternative. In this paper, we employ a convolution-free Swin Transformer as an image feature extractor so that the network can capture both local geometric features and global semantic features for depth estimation. Also, we propose a Densely Cascaded Multi-scale Network (DCMNet) that connects every feature map directly with another from different scales via a top-down cascade pathway.

  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.
