• Abstract: Multi-frame methods improve monocular depth estimation over single-frame approaches by aggregating spatial-temporal information via feature matching. However, the spatial-temporal feature leads to accuracy degradation in dynamic scenes. To enhance the performance, recent methods tend to propose complex architectures for feature matching and dynamic scenes. In this paper, we show that a simple learning framework, together with designed feature augmentation, leads to superior performance. (1) A novel dynamic objects detecting method with geometry explainability is proposed. The detected dynamic objects are excluded during training, which guarantees the static environment assumption and relieves the accuracy degradation problem of the multi-frame depth estimation. (2) Multi-scale feature fusion is proposed for feature matching in the multi-frame depth network, which improves feature matching, especially between frames with large camera motion. (3) The robust knowledge distillation with a robust teacher network and reliability guarantee is proposed, which improves the multi-frame depth estimation without computation complexity increase during the test. The experiments show that our proposed methods achieve great performance improvement on the multi-frame depth estimation.

  We present Manydepth2, to achieve precise depth estimation for both dynamic objects and static backgrounds. To tackle the challenges posed by dynamic content, we incorporate optical flow and coarse monocular depth to create a pseudo-static reference frame. This frame is then utilized to build a motion-aware cost volume in collaboration with the vanilla target frame.

  We present an algorithm for estimating consistent dense depth maps and camera poses from a monocular video. Our algorithm combines two complementary techniques: (1) flexible deformation-splines for low-frequency large-scale alignment and (2) geometry-aware depth filtering for high-frequency alignment of fine depth details. In contrast to prior approaches, our method does not require camera poses as input and achieves robust reconstruction for challenging hand-held cell phone captures containing a significant amount of noise, shake, motion blur, and rolling shutter deformations.
