• Abstract: Incorporating inductive bias by embedding geometric entities (such as rays) as input has proven successful in multi-view learning. However, the methods adopting this technique typically lack equivariance, which is crucial for effective 3D learning. Equivariance serves as a valuable inductive prior, aiding in the generation of robust multi-view features for 3D scene understanding. In this paper, we explore the application of equivariant multi-view learning to depth estimation, not only recognizing its significance for computer vision and robotics but also addressing the limitations of previous research. Most prior studies have either overlooked equivariance in this setting or achieved only approximate equivariance through data augmentation, which often leads to inconsistencies across different reference frames. To address this issue, we propose to embed $SE(3)$ equivariance into the Perceiver IO architecture. We employ Spherical Harmonics for positional encoding to ensure 3D rotation equivariance, and develop a specialized equivariant encoder and decoder within the Perceiver IO architecture. To validate our model, we applied it to the task of stereo depth estimation, achieving state of the art results on real-world datasets without explicit geometric constraints or extensive data augmentation.

  We introduce REMUL, a training procedure for approximating equivariance with multitask learning. We show that unconstrained models can learn approximate symmetries by minimizing an additional simple equivariance loss. Our method achieves competitive performance compared to equivariant baselines while being $10 times$ faster at inference and $2.5 times$ at training.

  Existing techniques often neglect the synergistic effects of semantic and depth cues, leading to classification and position estimation errors. We propose an input-aware Transformer framework that leverages Semantics and Depth as priors. Our approach involves the use of an S-D that explicitly models semantic and depth priors, thereby disentangling the learning process of object categorization and position estimation.
