• Authors: Guangkai Xu, Wei Yin, Jianming Zhang, Oliver Wang, Simon Niklaus, Simon Chen, Jia-Wang Bian,
• Abstract summary: Existing depth completion methods are often targeted at a specific sparse depth type and generalize poorly across task domains. We present a method to complete sparse/semi-dense, noisy, and potentially low-resolution depth maps obtained by various range sensors. Our method shows superior cross-domain generalization ability against state-of-the-art depth completion methods.

• Abstract: Existing depth completion methods are often targeted at a specific sparse depth type and generalize poorly across task domains. We present a method to complete sparse/semi-dense, noisy, and potentially low-resolution depth maps obtained by various range sensors, including those in modern mobile phones, or by multi-view reconstruction algorithms. Our method leverages a data-driven prior in the form of a single image depth prediction network trained on large-scale datasets, the output of which is used as an input to our model. We propose an effective training scheme where we simulate various sparsity patterns in typical task domains. In addition, we design two new benchmarks to evaluate the generalizability and the robustness of depth completion methods. Our simple method shows superior cross-domain generalization ability against state-of-the-art depth completion methods, introducing a practical solution to high-quality depth capture on a mobile device. The code is available at: https://github.com/YvanYin/FillDepth.

  Depth completion aims to generate high-quality dense depth maps from sparse depth maps. Previous work usually employs RGB images as guidance, and introduces iterative spatial propagation to refine estimated coarse depth maps. We propose an effective architecture that leverages deformable kernel convolution as a single-pass refinement module.

  Single-view depth estimation from omnidirectional images has gained popularity with its wide range of applications such as autonomous driving and scene reconstruction. In this work, we first establish a large-scale dataset with varied settings called Depth360 to tackle the training data problem. We then propose an end-to-end two-branch multi-task learning network, SegFuse, that mimics the human eye to effectively learn from the dataset.
