摘要:
光场(LF)深度估计是一项具有众多实际应用的关键任务。然而,基于多视图立体(MVS)的主流方法由于需要构建更精细的代价体,资源消耗大且耗时。为解决这一问题并在精度与效率之间取得更好的平衡,我们提出了一种用于光场深度(视差)估计的遮挡感知级联代价体。我们的级联策略在构建更精细代价体的过程中减少了采样数量,同时保持采样间隔不变。我们还引入遮挡图,以提高遮挡感知代价体构建的准确性。具体而言,我们首先通过粗视差估计网络获得粗视差图。然后,基于初始视差图将侧视的子孔径图像(SAIs)扭曲到中心视图。接着,我们提出在扭曲后的SAIs与中心SAI之间施加光度一致性约束,为每个SAI生成遮挡图。最后,我们引入粗视差图和遮挡图来构建遮挡感知的精化代价体,使精化视差估计网络能够输出更精确的视差图。大量实验证明了我们方法的有效性。与最先进的方法相比,我们的方法在精度和效率之间取得了更优的平衡,并在HCI 4D基准上已发表方法中,在MSE和Q25指标上排名第一。所提方法的代码和模型可在https://github.com/chaowentao/OccCasNet获取。
英文摘要:
Light field (LF) depth estimation is a crucial task with numerous practical applications. However, mainstream methods based on the multi-view stereo (MVS) are resource-intensive and time-consuming as they need to construct a finer cost volume. To address this issue and achieve a better trade-off between accuracy and efficiency, we propose an occlusion-aware cascade cost volume for LF depth (disparity) estimation. Our cascaded strategy reduces the sampling number while keeping the sampling interval constant during the construction of a finer cost volume. We also introduce occlusion maps to enhance accuracy in constructing the occlusion-aware cost volume. Specifically, we first obtain the coarse disparity map through the coarse disparity estimation network. Then, the sub-aperture images (SAIs) of side views are warped to the center view based on the initial disparity map. Next, we propose photo-consistency constraints between the warped SAIs and the center SAI to generate occlusion maps for each SAI. Finally, we introduce the coarse disparity map and occlusion maps to construct an occlusion-aware refined cost volume, enabling the refined disparity estimation network to yield a more precise disparity map. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, our method achieves a superior balance between accuracy and efficiency and ranks first in terms of MSE and Q25 metrics among published methods on the HCI 4D benchmark. The code and model of the proposed method are available at https://github.com/chaowentao/OccCasNet.
