Introduction

Accurate stereo depth estimation plays a critical role in various 3D tasks in both indoor and outdoor environments. Recently, learning-based multi-view stereo methods have demonstrated competitive performance with limited number of views. However, in challenging scenarios, especially when building cross-view correspondences is hard, these methods still cannot produce satisfying results. In this paper, we study how to enforce the consistency between surface normal and depth at training time to improve the performance. We couple the learning of a multi-view normal estimation module and a multi-view depth estimation module. In addition, we propose a novel consistency loss to train an independent consistency module that refines the depths from depth/normal pairs. We find that the joint learning can improve both the prediction of normal and depth, and the accuracy and smoothness can be further improved by enforcing the consistency. Experiments on MVS, SUN3D, RGBD and Scenes11 demonstrate the effectiveness of our method and state-of-the-art performance.

Training

  • Training without the consistency module
    • DeMoN datasets

      python train.py ./dataset/train

    • SUN3D

      python train.py ./dataset/train --ttype sun_train.txt --ttype2 sun_val.txt

    • ScanNet

      python train.py ./scannet --dataset scannet --mindepth 0.25

    • SceneFlow datasets

      The primary aim of training on SceneFlow datasets is to compare with GANet, an effective cost aggregation method and we compare it with the cost-aggregation implicitly caused by normal supervision. We set the disparity range to 192 similar to them but we only use 64 levels (sampled uniformly across 192 levels) due to memory constraints. We also set mindepth to 5.45 assuming the focal length to be 1050.0 mm, but for a few scenes with 450.mm it is adjusted appropriately (factor parameter in MVDNet.py)

      python train.py ./sceneflow --dataset sceneflow

  • Training with the consistency module

      python train.py ./dataset/train --ttype sun_train.txt --ttype2 sun_val.txt -tc
