• Abstract summary: We explore a repetitive design in our image guided network to gradually and sufficiently recover depth values. In the former branch, we design a dense repetitive hourglass network (DRHN) to extract discriminative image features of complex environments. In the latter branch, we present a repetitive guidance (RG) module based on dynamic convolution, in which an efficient convolution factorization is proposed to reduce the complexity. In addition, we propose a region-aware spatial propagation network (RASPN) for further depth refinement based on the semantic prior constraint.

• Abstract: Depth completion aims to recover dense depth maps from sparse ones, where color images are often used to facilitate this task. Recent depth methods primarily focus on image guided learning frameworks. However, blurry guidance in the image and unclear structure in the depth still impede their performance. To tackle these challenges, we explore a repetitive design in our image guided network to gradually and sufficiently recover depth values. Specifically, the repetition is embodied in both the image guidance branch and depth generation branch. In the former branch, we design a dense repetitive hourglass network (DRHN) to extract discriminative image features of complex environments, which can provide powerful contextual instruction for depth prediction. In the latter branch, we present a repetitive guidance (RG) module based on dynamic convolution, in which an efficient convolution factorization is proposed to reduce the complexity while modeling high-frequency structures progressively. Furthermore, in the semantic guidance branch, we utilize the well-known large vision model, i.e., segment anything (SAM), to supply RG with semantic prior. In addition, we propose a region-aware spatial propagation network (RASPN) for further depth refinement based on the semantic prior constraint. Finally, we collect a new dataset termed TOFDC for the depth completion task, which is acquired by the time-of-flight (TOF) sensor and the color camera on smartphones. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on KITTI, NYUv2, Matterport3D, 3D60, VKITTI, and our TOFDC.

  Human can infer the 3D geometry of a scene from a sketch instead of a realistic image, which indicates that the spatial structure plays a fundamental role in understanding the depth of scenes. We are the first to explore the learning of a depth-specific structural representation, which captures the essential feature for depth estimation and ignores irrelevant style information. Our S2R-DepthNet can be well generalized to unseen real-world data directly even though it is only trained on synthetic data.

• Depth Completion Using a View-constrained Deep Prior [73.21559000917554]
  Recent work has shown that the structure of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) induces a strong prior that favors natural images. This prior, known as a deep image prior (DIP), is an effective regularizer in inverse problems such as image denoising and inpainting. We extend the concept of the DIP to depth images. Given color images and noisy and incomplete target depth maps, we reconstruct a depth map restored by virtue of using the CNN network structure as a prior.
