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-Stereo can perform accurate real-time inference. RAFT-stereo ranks first on the Middlebury leaderboard, outperforming the next best method on 1px error by 29% and outperforms all published work on the ETH3D two-view stereo benchmark. Code is available at https://github.com/princeton-vl/RAFT-Stereo.

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 this work, we present the Occlusion-aware Recurrent binocular Stereo matching (ORStereo), which deals with these issues by only training on available low disparity range stereo images. ORStereo generalizes to unseen high-resolution images with large disparity ranges by formulating the task as residual updates and refinements of an initial prediction. ORStereo is trained on images with disparity ranges limited to 256 pixels, yet it can operate 4K-resolution input with over 1000 disparities using limited GPU memory. We test the models capability on both synthetic and real-world high-resolution images. Experimental results demonstrate that ORStereo achieves comparable performance on 4K-resolution images compared to state-of-the-art methods trained on large disparity ranges. Compared to other methods that are only trained on low-resolution images, our method is 70% more accurate on 4K-resolution images.

Previous monocular depth estimation methods take a single view and directly regress the expected results. Though recent advances are made by applying geometrically inspired loss functions during training, the inference procedure does not explicitly i mpose any geometrical constraint. Therefore these models purely rely on the quality of data and the effectiveness of learning to generalize. This either leads to suboptimal results or the demand of huge amount of expensive ground truth labelled data to generate reasonable results. In this paper, we show for the first time that the monocular depth estimation problem can be reformulated as two sub-problems, a view synthesis procedure followed by stereo matching, with two intriguing properties, namely i) geometrical constraints can be explicitly imposed during inference; ii) demand on labelled depth data can be greatly alleviated. We show that the whole pipeline can still be trained in an end-to-end fashion and this new formulation plays a critical role in advancing the performance. The resulting model outperforms all the previous monocular depth estimation methods as well as the stereo block matching method in the challenging KITTI dataset by only using a small number of real training data. The model also generalizes well to other monocular depth estimation benchmarks. We also discuss the implications and the advantages of solving monocular depth estimation using stereo methods.
The performance of image based stereo estimation suffers from lighting variations, repetitive patterns and homogeneous appearance. Moreover, to achieve good performance, stereo supervision requires sufficient densely-labeled data, which are hard to o btain. In this work, we leverage small amount of data with very sparse but accurate disparity cues from LiDAR to bridge the gap. We propose a novel sparsity expansion technique to expand the sparse cues concerning RGB images for local feature enhancement. The feature enhancement method can be easily applied to any stereo estimation algorithms with cost volume at the test stage. Extensive experiments on stereo datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness across different backbones on domain adaption and self-supervision scenario. Our sparsity expansion method outperforms previous methods in terms of disparity by more than 2 pixel error on KITTI Stereo 2012 and 3 pixel error on KITTI Stereo 2015. Our approach significantly boosts the existing state-of-the-art stereo algorithms with extremely sparse cues.
In this paper, we present a decomposition model for stereo matching to solve the problem of excessive growth in computational cost (time and memory cost) as the resolution increases. In order to reduce the huge cost of stereo matching at the original resolution, our model only runs dense matching at a very low resolution and uses sparse matching at different higher resolutions to recover the disparity of lost details scale-by-scale. After the decomposition of stereo matching, our model iteratively fuses the sparse and dense disparity maps from adjacent scales with an occlusion-aware mask. A refinement network is also applied to improving the fusion result. Compared with high-performance methods like PSMNet and GANet, our method achieves $10-100times$ speed increase while obtaining comparable disparity estimation results.
