• Abstract summary: Existing methods typically rely solely on RGB images or fuse the modalities at later stages. We propose a novel deep neural network approach named FusionRAFT, which enables early-stage information fusion between sensor modalities. Our approach exhibits improved robustness in the presence of noise and low-lighting conditions that affect the RGB images.

• Abstract: This paper presents an investigation into the estimation of optical and scene flow using RGBD information in scenarios where the RGB modality is affected by noise or captured in dark environments. Existing methods typically rely solely on RGB images or fuse the modalities at later stages, which can result in lower accuracy when the RGB information is unreliable. To address this issue, we propose a novel deep neural network approach named FusionRAFT, which enables early-stage information fusion between sensor modalities (RGB and depth). Our approach incorporates self- and cross-attention layers at different network levels to construct informative features that leverage the strengths of both modalities. Through comparative experiments, we demonstrate that our approach outperforms recent methods in terms of performance on the synthetic dataset Flyingthings3D, as well as the generalization on the real-world dataset KITTI. We illustrate that our approach exhibits improved robustness in the presence of noise and low-lighting conditions that affect the RGB images. We release the code, models and dataset at https://github.com/jiesico/FusionRAFT.

  Depth information has proven to be a useful cue in the semantic segmentation of RGBD images for providing a geometric counterpart to the RGB representation. Most existing works simply assume that depth measurements are accurate and well-aligned with the RGB pixels and models the problem as a cross-modal feature fusion. In this paper, we propose a unified and efficient Crossmodality Guided to not only effectively recalibrate RGB feature responses, but also to distill accurate depth information via multiple stages and aggregate the two recalibrated representations alternatively.
