• Abstract: Fisheye cameras are increasingly adopted in robotics for near-field manipulation, navigation, and immersive perception, yet indoor depth benchmarks with accurate ground truth are still missing. To address this, we introduce WideDepth - the first indoor dataset for fisheye depth estimation, featuring 101 scenes containing 5K high-resolution stereo pairs labeled with millimeter-level ground truth depth and disparity. Our dataset also includes paired pinhole and fisheye samples across varying fields of view and baselines in both horizontal and vertical stereo setups. We further propose a method to adapt pinhole-trained stereo models to fisheye images and introduce a novel stereo fisheye image generation pipeline based on high-resolution LiDAR scans. Leveraging these methods, we thoroughly evaluate state-of-the-art monocular depth, stereo matching, and depth completion models on our benchmark. Additionally, we provide 18K LiDAR-derived sparse depth training samples, achieving up to a 62% performance boost on fisheye data when fine-tuning pinhole-based stereo models. In summary, the high precision and versatility of our benchmark set a strong foundation for advancing research in fisheye depth estimation and robotics perception.

  Multi-camera systems are often used in autonomous driving to achieve a 360$circ$ perception. These 360$circ$ camera sets often have limited or low-quality overlap regions, making multi-view stereo methods infeasible for the entire image. We propose the Stereo Guided Depth Estimation (SGDE) method, which enhances depth estimation of the full image by explicitly utilizing multi-view stereo results on the overlap.

• Robust Consistent Video Depth Estimation [65.53308117778361]
  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.
