While radar and video data can be readily fused at the detection level, fusing them at the pixel level is potentially more beneficial. This is also more challenging in part due to the sparsity of radar, but also because automotive radar beams are much wider than a typical pixel combined with a large baseline between camera and radar, which results in poor association between radar pixels and color pixel. A consequence is that depth completion methods designed for LiDAR and video fare poorly for radar and video. Here we propose a radar-to-pixel association stage which learns a mapping from radar returns to pixels. This mapping also serves to densify radar returns. Using this as a first stage, followed by a more traditional depth completion method, we are able to achieve image-guided depth completion with radar and video. We demonstrate performance superior to camera and radar alone on the nuScenes dataset. Our source code is available at https://github.com/longyunf/rc-pda.

Modern high-definition LIDAR is expensive for commercial autonomous driving vehicles and small indoor robots. An affordable solution to this problem is fusion of planar LIDAR with RGB images to provide a similar level of perception capability. Even t
hough state-of-the-art methods provide approaches to predict depth information from limited sensor input, they are usually a simple concatenation of sparse LIDAR features and dense RGB features through an end-to-end fusion architecture. In this paper, we introduce an inductive late-fusion block which better fuses different sensor modalities inspired by a probability model. The proposed demonstration and aggregation network propagates the mixed context and depth features to the prediction network and serves as a prior knowledge of the depth completion. This late-fusion block uses the dense context features to guide the depth prediction based on demonstrations by sparse depth features. In addition to evaluating the proposed method on benchmark depth completion datasets including NYUDepthV2 and KITTI, we also test the proposed method on a simulated planar LIDAR dataset. Our method shows promising results compared to previous approaches on both the benchmark datasets and simulated dataset with various 3D densities.
A depth map can be represented by a set of learned bases and can be efficiently solved in a closed form solution. However, one issue with this method is that it may create artifacts when colour boundaries are inconsistent with depth boundaries. In fa
ct, this is very common in a natural image. To address this issue, we enforce a more strict model in depth recovery: a piece-wise planar model. More specifically, we represent the desired depth map as a collection of 3D planar and the reconstruction problem is formulated as the optimization of planar parameters. Such a problem can be formulated as a continuous CRF optimization problem and can be solved through particle based method (MP-PBP) cite{Yamaguchi14}. Extensive experimental evaluations on the KITTI visual odometry dataset show that our proposed methods own high resistance to false object boundaries and can generate useful and visually pleasant 3D point clouds.
In this paper, we propose a new global geometry constraint for depth completion. By assuming depth maps often lay on low dimensional subspaces, a dense depth map can be approximated by a weighted sum of full-resolution principal depth bases. The prin
cipal components of depth fields can be learned from natural depth maps. The given sparse depth points are served as a data term to constrain the weighting process. When the input depth points are too sparse, the recovered dense depth maps are often over smoothed. To address this issue, we add a colour-guided auto-regression model as another regularization term. It assumes the reconstructed depth maps should share the same nonlocal similarity in the accompanying colour image. Our colour-guided PCA depth completion method has closed-form solutions, thus can be efficiently solved and is significantly more accurate than PCA only method. Extensive experiments on KITTI and Middlebury datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method.
LiDAR depth completion is a task that predicts depth values for every pixel on the corresponding camera frame, although only sparse LiDAR points are available. Most of the existing state-of-the-art solutions are based on deep neural networks, which n
eed a large amount of data and heavy computations for training the models. In this letter, a novel non-learning depth completion method is proposed by exploiting the local surface geometry that is enhanced by an outlier removal algorithm. The proposed surface geometry model is inspired by the observation that most pixels with unknown depth have a nearby LiDAR point. Therefore, it is assumed those pixels share the same surface with the nearest LiDAR point, and their respective depth can be estimated as the nearest LiDAR depth value plus a residual error. The residual error is calculated by using a derived equation with several physical parameters as input, including the known camera intrinsic parameters, estimated normal vector, and offset distance on the image plane. The proposed method is further enhanced by an outlier removal algorithm that is designed to remove incorrectly mapped LiDAR points from occluded regions. On KITTI dataset, the proposed solution achieves the best error performance among all existing non-learning methods and is comparable to the best self-supervised learning method and some supervised learning methods. Moreover, since outlier points from occluded regions is a commonly existing problem, the proposed outlier removal algorithm is a general preprocessing step that is applicable to many robotic systems with both camera and LiDAR sensors.
Depth completion deals with the problem of recovering dense depth maps from sparse ones, where color images are often used to facilitate this completion. Recent approaches mainly focus on image guided learning to predict dense results. However, blurr
y image guidance and object structures in depth still impede the performance of image guided frameworks. To tackle these problems, we explore a repetitive design in our image guided network to sufficiently and gradually recover depth values. Specifically, the repetition is embodied in a color image guidance branch and a depth generation branch. In the former branch, we design a repetitive hourglass network to extract higher-level image features of complex environments, which can provide powerful context guidance for depth prediction. In the latter branch, we design a repetitive guidance module based on dynamic convolution where the convolution factorization is applied to simultaneously reduce its complexity and progressively model high-frequency structures, e.g., boundaries. Further, in this module, we propose an adaptive fusion mechanism to effectively aggregate multi-step depth features. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art result on the NYUv2 dataset and ranks 1st on the KITTI benchmark at the time of submission.
