• Abstract summary: We learn an implicit, multi-view consistent scene representation, introducing a series of 3D data augmentation techniques as a geometric inductive prior to increase view diversity. Our Depth Field Networks (DeFiNe) achieve state-of-the-art results in stereo and video depth estimation without explicit geometric constraints, and improve on zero-shot domain generalization by a wide margin.

• Abstract: Modern 3D computer vision leverages learning to boost geometric reasoning, mapping image data to classical structures such as cost volumes or epipolar constraints to improve matching. These architectures are specialized according to the particular problem, and thus require significant task-specific tuning, often leading to poor domain generalization performance. Recently, generalist Transformer architectures have achieved impressive results in tasks such as optical flow and depth estimation by encoding geometric priors as inputs rather than as enforced constraints. In this paper, we extend this idea and propose to learn an implicit, multi-view consistent scene representation, introducing a series of 3D data augmentation techniques as a geometric inductive prior to increase view diversity. We also show that introducing view synthesis as an auxiliary task further improves depth estimation. Our Depth Field Networks (DeFiNe) achieve state-of-the-art results in stereo and video depth estimation without explicit geometric constraints, and improve on zero-shot domain generalization by a wide margin.

  Estimating depth from a sequence of posed RGB images is a fundamental computer vision task. We introduce a reconstruction which combines volume features with a hint of the prior geometry, rendered as a depth map from the current camera location. We demonstrate that our method can run at interactive speeds, state-of-the-art estimates of depth and 3D scene in both offline and incremental evaluation scenarios.

  Self-supervised monocular depth estimation aims to infer depth information without relying on labeled data. Lack of labeled information poses a significant challenge to the model's representation, limiting its ability to capture the intricate details of the scene accurately. We introduce a novel self-supervised monocular depth estimation model that leverages multiple priors to bolster representation capabilities across spatial, context, and semantic dimensions.
