The cost aggregation strategy shows a crucial role in learning-based stereo matching tasks, where 3D convolutional filters obtain state of the art but require intensive computation resources, while 2D operations need less GPU memory but are sensitive to domain shift. In this paper, we decouple the 4D cubic cost volume used by 3D convolutional filters into sequential cost maps along the direction of disparity instead of dealing with it at once by exploiting a recurrent cost aggregation strategy. Furthermore, a novel recurrent module, Stacked Recurrent Hourglass (SRH), is proposed to process each cost map. Our hourglass network is constructed based on Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) and down/upsampling layers, which provides GRUs larger receptive fields. Then two hourglass networks are stacked together, while multi-scale information is processed by skip connections to enhance the performance of the pipeline in textureless areas. The proposed architecture is implemented in an end-to-end pipeline and evaluated on public datasets, which reduces GPU memory consumption by up to 56.1% compared with PSMNet using stacked hourglass 3D CNNs without the degradation of accuracy. Then, we further demonstrate the scalability of the proposed method on several high-resolution pairs, while previously learned approaches often fail due to the memory constraint. The code is released at url{https://github.com/hongzhidu/SRHNet}.
Stereo reconstruction models trained on small images do not generalize well to high-resolution data. Training a model on high-resolution image size faces difficulties of data availability and is often infeasible due to limited computing resources. In
Dense stereo matching with deep neural networks is of great interest to the research community. Existing stereo matching networks typically use slow and computationally expensive 3D convolutions to improve the performance, which is not friendly to re
We introduce RAFT-Stereo, a new deep architecture for rectified stereo based on the optical flow network RAFT. We introduce multi-level convolutional GRUs, which more efficiently propagate information across the image. A modified version of RAFT-Ster
Convolutional neural network (CNN)-based stereo matching approaches generally require a dense cost volume (DCV) for disparity estimation. However, generating such cost volumes is computationally-intensive and memory-consuming, hindering CNN training
Being a crucial task of autonomous driving, Stereo matching has made great progress in recent years. Existing stereo matching methods estimate disparity instead of depth. They treat the disparity errors as the evaluation metric of the depth estimatio
