In stereo matching cost filtering methods and energy minimization algorithms are considered as two different techniques. Due to their global extend energy minimization methods obtain good stereo matching results. However, they tend to fail in occluded regions, in which cost filtering approaches obtain better results. In this paper we intend to combine both approaches with the aim to improve overall stereo matching results.
We propose to perform stereo matching as a two-step energy minimization algorithm. We consider two MRF models: a fully connected model defined on the complete set of pixels in an image and a conventional locally connected model. We solve the energy minimization problem for the fully connected model, after which the marginal function of the solution is used as the unary potential in the locally connected MRF model.
Only gradient component (6D vector) of color images is used

This approach triangulates the polygonized SLIC segmentations of the input images and optimizes a lower-layer MRF on the resulting set of triangles defined by photo consistency and normal smoothness. The lower-layer MRF is solved by a quadratic relaxation method which iterates between PatchMatch and Cholesky Decomposition. The lower-layer MRF is assisted by a upper-layer MRF defined on the set of triangle vertices which exploits local 'visual complexity' cues and encourages smoothness of the vertices' splitting properties. The two layers interact through an Alignment energy term which requires triangles sharing a non-split vertex to have their disparities agree on that vertex. Optimization of the whole model is iterated between optimizations of the two layers till convergence where the upper-layer can be solved in closed form.

Compute the matching cost with a convolutional neural network (accurate architecture). Then apply cross-based cost aggregation, semiglobal matching, left-right consistency check, median filter, and a bilateral filter.
DETAILS:
The network is similar to the one described in our CVPR paper differing only in the values of some hyperparameters. The input to the network are two 11 x 11 image patches. Five convolutional layers with 3 x 3 kernels and 112 feature maps extract feature vectors from the input image patches. The two 112-length feature vectors are concatenated into a 224-length vector which is passed through three fully-connected layers with 384 units each. The final (fourth) fully-connected layer projects the output to a single number---the matching cost. One important addition was the use of data augmentation techniques to increase the size of the training set. We tried to use as much training data as possible. Therefore we combined all of the 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2014 Middlebury datasets obtaining 60 image pairs. For the newer datasets (2005, 2006, and 2014) we also used several illumination and exposure settings.
A prior disparity image is calculated by matching a set of reliable support points and triangulating between them. A maximum a-posterior approach refines the disparities. The disparities for the left and right image are checked for consistency and disparity segments below a size of 50 pixels removed. (Improved results as of 9/14/2015 due to bug fix in color-to-gray conversion.)

The method generates multiple proposals on absolute and relative disparities from multi-segmentations. The proposals are coordinated by point-wise competition and pairwise collaboration within a MRF model. During inference, a dynamic programming is performed in different directions with various step sizes.
We post-process the depth maps produced by Zbontar & LeCun's MC-CNN technique. We use a domain transform to compute an edge-aware variance measure of our confidence in the depth map, and then run our robust bilateral solver on that depth map and confidence with a Geman-McClure loss function.
The MC-CNN is computed using the publicly-available implementation (https://github.com/jzbontar/mc-cnn) which using the GPU, and the robust bilateral solver is computed using our CPU implementation which does not use the GPU, and is written in vanilla C++.

An efficient stereo matching algorithm, which applies adaptive smoothness constraints using texture and edge information, is proposed in this work. First, we determine non-textured regions, on which an input image yields flat pixel values. In the non-textured regions, we penalize depth discontinuity and complement the primary CNN-based matching cost with a color-based cost. Second, by combining two edge maps from the input image and a pre-estimated disparity map, we extract denoised edges that correspond to depth discontinuity with high probabilities. Thus, near the denoised edges, we penalize small differences of neighboring disparities.
The method uses the MC-CNN code for the matching cost computation only.
Compute the matching cost with a convolutional neural network (fast architecture). Then apply cross-based cost aggregation, semiglobal matching, left-right consistency check, median filter, and a bilateral filter.
Our approach is an extension of the ELAS (from Geiger et al.) algorithm. We extract edges and sample our candidate support points along them. For every two consecutive valid support points we create a (straight) line segment. We force the triangulation to include the set of line segments (constrained Delaunay) for a better preservation of the disparity discontinuity at the edges.
Parameters as in the original ELAS algorithm.
For sampling candidate support points along the edge segments:
Adaptive sampling activated:
step = ceil(sqrt(img_diag)*0.5);
sampler(sqrt(step) / 2, step / 2, step / 2);
The computation of the sparse disparity maps is achieved by means of a 3D diffusion of the costs contained in the disparity space volume. The watershed segmentations of the left and right views control the diffusion process and valid measurements are obtained by cross-checking.
The estimation of the dense disparity maps uses the sparse measurements as control points and is driven by a 3D watershed separating the disparity space volume into foreground and background pixels.
No post processing (no filtering, no hole-filling, no interpolation) performed.
The concepts of intrinsic curves were revisited and used for:
- disparity search space reduction, resulting in 83% reduction of the disparity range (individually for each pixel) directly from the original resolution of the image without needing hierarchical search
- reducing the ambiguities due to occluded pixels by integrating occlusion clues explicitly into the global energy function as a soft prior
The final energy minimization was done using semi global approach along eight paths.

A 3D label based method with global optimization at pixel level. A bilayer matching cost is employed by first matching small square windows then aggregate on large irregular windows. Global optimization is carried out by fusing candidate proposals, which are generated from our specific superpixel structure.
We propose a method to combine the predicted surface normal constraint by deep learning. With the selected reliable disparities from stereo matching method and effective edge fusion strategy, we can faithfully convert the predicted surface normal map to a disparity map by solving a least squares system which maintains discontinuity. We use the raw matching cost of MC-CNN.
A novel pooling scheme is used to train a matching cost function with a CNN. It widens the size of receptive field effectively without losing the fine details.
The overall post-processing pipeline is kept almost same as the original MC-CNN-acrt, except that the parameter settings are changed as follows:
cbca_num_iterations_1 = 0, cbca_num_iterations_2 = 1, sgm_P1 = 1.3, sgm_P2 = 17.0, sgm_Q1 = 3.6, sgm_Q2 = 36.0, and sgm_V = 1.4.

An energy minimization framework for disparity estimation where energy function consists of intensity matching cost, feature matching cost, IGMRF prior and sparsity priors.
This is a new weakly supervised method that allows to learn deep metric for stereo reconstruction from unlabeled stereo images, given coarse information about the scenes and the optical system. The deep metric architecture is similar to MC-CNN fst.
This is a segmentation based stereo matching algorithm using an adaptive multi-cost approach, which is exploited for obtaining accuracy disparity maps.
We propose a cost aggregation method that efficiently weave together MST-based support region filtering and PatchMatch-based 3D label search. We use the raw matching cost of MC-CNN.
We propose a novel method for stereo estimation, combining advantages of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and optimization-based approaches. The optimization, posed as a conditional random field (CRF), takes local matching costs and consistency-enforcing (smoothness) costs as inputs, both estimated by CNN blocks. To perform the inference in the CRF we use an approach based on linear programming relaxation with a fixed number of iterations. We address the challenging problem of training this hybrid model end-to-end. We show that in the discriminative formulation (structured support vector machine) the training is practically feasible. The trained hybrid model with shallow CNNs is comparable to state-of-the-art deep models in both time and performance. The optimization part efficiently replaces sophisticated and not jointly trainable (but commonly applied) post-processing steps by a trainable, well-understood model.
Our method is local matching approach using the Guided Filter for cost aggregation. We give appropriate the Guided Filter size for each pixel in input image by the Filter Size Map computed by using the DoG Kernel.
Parameters for Filter Size Map computation:
DoGparam.scalesize = 25 (index of scale space)
DoGparam.mfsize = 1 (window size for Filter Size Map optimization)
Parameters for Guided Filter:
eps = 0.001
Parameters for cost computation:
gamma = 0.11 (Weight of cost)
Parameters for Bilateral Filter in disparity map optimization:
gamma_c = 1
gamma_d = 11
r_median = 19
We propose local expansion moves for estimating dense 3D labels on a pairwise MRF. The data term uses a PatchMatch-like 3D slanted window formulation, where raw matching costs within a window are computed by MC-CNN-acrt and aggregated using guided image filtering. The smoothness term uses a pairwise curvature regularization term by Olsson et al. 2013.
We propose a feature ensemble network leveraging deep convolutional neural network to perform matching cost computation and the disparity refinement. For matching cost computation, patch-based network architecture with multi-size and multi-layer pooling unit is adopted to learn cross-scale feature representations. For disparity refinement, the initial optimal and sub-optimal disparity maps are incorporated and diverse base learners are applied.
We propose a robust learning-based method for stereo cost volume computation. We accomplish this by coalescing diverse evidence from a bidirectional matching process via random forest classifiers. We show that our matching volume estimation method achieves similar accuracy to purely data-driven alternatives and that it generalizes to unseen data much better. In fact, we used the same model trained on Middlebury 2014 dataset to submit to the KITTI and ETH3D benchmarks.
We extend the standard BP sequential technique to the fully connected CRF models with the geodesic distance affinity.
Also a new approach to the BP marginal solution is proposed that we call one-view-occlusion detection (OVOD). In contrast to the standard winner takes all (WTA) estimation, the proposed OVOD solution allows to find occluded regions in the disparity map and simultaneously improve the matching result.
As a result we can perform only one energy minimization process and avoid the cost calculation for the second view and the left-right check procedure.

Hong Li and Chunbo Cheng. Adaptive weighted matching cost based on sparse representation. Submitted to IEEE TIP, 2018.
This paper proposes a novel non-data-driven matching cost for dense correspondence in view of sparse representation. This new matching cost can separate the source of impact such as illuminations and exposures, thus making it more suitable and selective for stereo matching. In addition, the new matching cost can be used as a adaptive weight in the process of cost calculation, and can improve the accuracy of the matching costs by weighting.
We propose a stereo matching algorithm that directly refines the winner-take-all (WTA) disparity map by exploring its statistic significance. WTA disparity maps are obtained from the pre-computed raw matching costs of MC-CNN-acrt.
Semi-Global Matching (SGM) uses an aggregation scheme to combine costs from multiple 1D scanline optimizations that tends to hurt its accuracy in difficult scenarios. We propose replacing this aggregation scheme with a new learning-based method that fuses disparity proposals estimated using scanline optimization. Our proposed SGM-Forest algorithm solves this problem using per-pixel classification. SGM-Forest currently ranks 1st on the ETH3D stereo benchmark and is ranked competitively on the Middlebury 2014 and KITTI 2015 benchmarks. It consistently outperforms SGM in challenging settings and under difficult training protocols that demonstrate robust generalization, while adding only a small computational overhead to SGM.

Neural Network based on a multidimensional similarity metric and Deeplab v3+
Numerous CNN algorithms focus on the pixel-wise matching cost computation, which is the important building block for many state-of-the-art algorithms. However, these architectures are limited to small and single scale receptive fields and use traditional methods for cost aggregation or even ignore cost aggregation. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture called cascaded multi-scale and multi-dimension network (MSMD) to take them both into consideration. Firstly, we propose a new multi-scale matching cost computation sub-network, in which two different sizes of receptive fields are implemented parallelly. In this way, the network can make the best use of both variants to balance the trade-off between the increase of receptive field and the loss of details. Furthermore, we show that our multi-dimension aggregation sub-network which contains 2D convolution and 3D convolution operations can provide rich context and semantic information for estimating an accurate initial disparity.
A robust solution for semi-dense stereo matching is presented. It utilizes two CNN models for computing stereo matching cost and performing confidence-based filtering, respectively. Compared to existing CNNs-based matching cost generation approaches, our method feeds additional global information into the network so that the learned model can better handle challenging cases, such as lighting changes and lack of textures. Through utilizing non-parametric transforms, our method is also more self-reliant than most existing semi-dense stereo approaches, which rely highly on the adjustment of parameters.

These multiscale features are used to compute the corresponding multiscale matching costs. We then determine an optimal cost by combining the multiscale costs using edge information. On the other hand, the other two feature extractors produce uni-scale features by combining multiscale features directly through fully connected layers. Finally, after obtaining matching costs using one of the four extractors, we determine optimal disparities based on the cross-based cost aggregation and the semiglobal matching.
We design a full-convolutional network to generate disparity map as a regression problem. Applying pyramid pooling and skip connection to integrate hierarchical context information.

The method comprises two main steps. First, we use adaptive support weights for local matching. Apart from the color similarity and geometric distance, the adaptive weight distribution favors pixels in the block matching with smaller cost. Besides, we use a multiscale strategy with invalidation criteria to reduce match ambiguity and computational time.
Second, a global interpolation using a variational formulation is carried out. The energy functional penalizes deviations from the local disparity estimation at different scales.
Local approach (DAWA): 23x23 squared window, beta=11, lambda=6, gamma=4, pixel precision 1/4, three scales for multiscale procedure.
Variational model: alpha=1, gamma=5, phi1=30, phi2=15.
Stereo matching process is attracted numbers of study in recent years. The process is unique and difficult due to visual discomfort occurred which contributed to effect of accuracy of disparity maps. By using multistage technique implemented most of Stereo Matching Algorithm; taxonomy by D. Scharstein and R. Szeliski, in this paper proposed new improvement algorithm of stereo matching by using the effect of Adaptive Weighted Bilateral Filter as main filter in cost aggregation stage which able contribute edge-preserving factor and robust against plain colour region. With some improvement parameters in matching cost computation stage where windows size of sum of absolute different (SAD) and thresholds adjustment was applied and Median Filter as main filter in refinement disparity map’s stage may overcome the limitation of disparity map accuracy. Evaluation on indoor datasets, latest (2014) Middlebury dataset were used to prove that Adaptive Weighted Bilateral Filter effect applied on proposed algorithm resulted smooth disparity maps and achieved good processing time.

Chunbo Cheng, Hong Li, and Liming Zhang. A new stereo matching cost based on two-branch convolutional sparse coding and sparse representation. Submitted to IEEE TIP, 2019.
This paper presents a novel unsupervised stereo matching cost for stereo matching. Specifically, a novel two-branch convolutional sparse coding (CSC) is used to learn the convolution filter bank without ground truth disparity maps. Then, the sparse representations over the learned convolutional filter bank are utilized to measure the similarity between image patches, namely, the stereo matching cost can be computed by measuring the l1 distance between sparse representations of image patches.

In this work, we propose a learning-based method to denoise and refine disparity maps of a given stereo method. The proposed variational network arises naturally from unrolling the iterates of a proximal gradient method applied to a variational energy defined in a joint disparity, color, and confidence image space. Our method allows to learn a robust collaborative regularizer leveraging the joint statistics of the color image, the confidence map and the disparity map. Due to the variational structure of our method, the individual steps can be easily visualized, thus enabling interpretability of the method. We can therefore provide interesting insights into how our method refines and denoises disparity maps. The efficiency of our method is demonstrated by the publicly available stereo benchmarks Middlebury 2014 and Kitti 2015.

Hao Li, Yanwei Sun, and Li Sun. Edge-preserved disparity estimation with piecewise cost aggregation. Submitted to the International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019.
The cost aggregated paths are divided by edge pixels in the edge disparity map, and cost aggregation is calculated independently in each sub-path.
We propose "DeepPruner", a real-time stereo matching algorithm, which combines the strength of deep network and search space pruning techniques. Towards this goal, we developed a differentiable PatchMatch module that allows us to discard most disparities and generates a sparse representation of the cost-volume. We then exploit this representation to learn which range to prune for each pixel. Our method achieves competitive results on KITTI / SceneFlow datasets while running in real-time at 62ms. Moreover, we obtain the first place (on overall rankings) on the Robust Vision Challenge. For more details, check out our paper and source code.
It has been proposed by many researchers that combining deep neural networks with graphical models can create more efficient and better regularized composite models. The main difficulties in implementing this in practice are associated with a discrepancy in suitable learning objectives as well as with the necessity of approximations for the inference. In this work we take one of the simplest inference methods, a truncated max-product Belief Propagation, and add what is necessary to make it a proper component of a deep learning model: We connect it to learning formulations with losses on marginals and compute the backprop operation. This BP-Layer can be used as the final or an intermediate block in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), allowing us to design a hierarchical model composing BP inference and CNNs at different scale levels. The model is applicable to a range of dense prediction problems, is well-trainable and provides parameter-efficient and robust solutions in stereo, optical flow and semantic segmentation.
We novelly formulate the scale transformation of cost volume as a Bayes inference and propose the inter-scale subnetwork to reliably and adaptively generate details under the guidance of geometric information.
we fine-tune the model pre-trained on Scene Flow for 300 epochs with the learning rate of 0.001 in the first 100 epochs and 0.0001 in the rest 1000 epochs.

Linghua Zeng and Xinmei Tian. CRAR: Accelerating stereo matching with cascaded regression and adaptive refinement. Submitted to Pattern Recognition, 2020.
A deep-learning model PSMNU, modified based on PSMNet, produces initial disparity and uncertainty on the down-sampled image. SGBMP performs full resolution prediction based on the initial disparity and uncertainty.
PSMNU: max disparity 256, trained on Scene Flow dataset (Flyingthings3D & Monkaa) only, without data augmentation. SGBMP: \lambda_b = 3, \lambda_s = 0.1, \lambda_d = 0.1. For the initial prediction of PSMNU, images are down-sampled to 768x1024.
The algorithm is based on a hierarchical representation of image pairs which is used to restrict disparity search range. We propose a cost function that takes into account region contextual information and a cost aggregation method that preserves disparity borders.

Accurate disparity prediction is a hot spot in computer vision, and how to efficiently exploit contextual information is the key to improve the performance. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective non-local context attention network (NLCANet) to exploit the global context information by using attention mechanisms and semantic information for stereo matching. First, we develop a 2D geometry feature learning (GFL) module to get a more discriminative representation by taking advantage of multi-scale features and form them into the variance-based cost volume. Then, we construct a non-local attention matching (NLAM) module by using the non-local block and hierarchical 3D convolutions, which can effectively regularize the cost volume and capture the global contextual information. Finally, we adopt a geometry refinement (GR) module to refine the disparity map to further improve the performance. Moreover, we add the warping loss function to help the model learn the matching rule of the non-occluded region. Our experiments show that (1), our approach achieves competitive results on KITTI and SceneFlow datasets in the end-point error (EPE) and the fraction of erroneous pixels (D 1 ); (2), our proposed method particularly has superior performance in the reflective regions and occluded areas.

Chenglong Xu, Chengdong Wu, Daokui Qu, Haibo Sun and Jilai Song. Accurate and efficient stereo matching by log-angle and pyramid-tree. Submitted to IEEE TCSVT, 2020.
Combined bearings-only cost metric and Cross-regional connection based aggregation.
The approach relies on a fast multi-resolution initialization step, differentiable 2D geometric propagation and warping mechanisms to infer slanted plane hypotheses at multiple resolutions.
We propose a novel lightweight network for stereo estimation. The method uses densely connected layer structures to learn expressive features without the need of fully-connected layers or 3D convolutions. This leads to a network structure with only 0.37M parameters while still having competitive results. The post-processing consists of filtering, a consistency check and hole filling.

we propose an improved cost aggregation method, in which the matching cost volume is filtered by ACR-GIF-OW
This model is trained on low-resolution data but aims at high-resolution images. It uses a recurrent module to iteratively update a coarse disparity prediction. Then a special refinement module makes a final adjustment. The recurrent update and final refine are applied in a patch-wise manner across the initial disparity.
Trained on Scene Flow, Middlebury 1/4 size, and TartanAir (sampled) datasets. Training disparity range 256 pixels, testing range over 1000 pixels.

In this paper, an improved AD-Census algorithm is proposed to improve the matching ratio in some special regions. The proposed algorithm contains an optimization method and three similarity metrics.
We propose an approach for real-time embedded stereo processing on ARM and CUDA-enabled devices, which is based on the popular and widely used Semi-Global Matching algorithm. In this, we propose an optimization of the algorithm for embedded CUDA GPUs, by using massively parallel computing, as well as using the NEON intrinsics to optimize the algorithm for vectorized SIMD processing on embedded ARM CPUs.

Xiaowei Yang. A light-weight stereo matching network based on multi-scale features fusion and robust disparity refinement. Submitted to IET Image Processing, 2022.
In recent years, convolutional-neural-network based stereo matching methods have achieved significant
gains compared to conventional methods in terms of both speed and accuracy. Current state-of-the-art disparity
estimation algorithms require many parameters and large amounts of computational resources and are not suited to
applications on edge devices. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end light-weight network (LWNet) for fast stereo
matching, which consists of an efficient backbone with multi-scale feature fusion for feature extraction, a 3D U-Net
aggregation architecture for disparity computation and a color guidance in 2D CNN for disparity refinement.

Xue Liu. Stereo matching with monocular augmentation. Submitted to Signal Processing Letters, 2022.
We propose an accurate and lightweight convolutional neural network for stereo estimation with depth completion. The whole method consists of three parts. The first part consists of fully-convolutional densely connected layers that computes expressive features of rectified image pairs.
learning rate: 0.00006 for feature extraction and similarity and learning rate: 0.000006 for depth completion

Anonymous. Revisiting cost aggregation in stereo matching from disparity classification. CVPR 2023 submission 1116.
Cost aggregation plays a critical role in existing stereo
matching methods. Generally, aggregating matching costs
in homogeneous regions with similar disparities is benefi-
cial to matching accuracy. However, previous approaches
commonly use 3D convolutions for cost aggregation with-
out considering the homogeneity of different regions. In
this paper, we revisit cost aggregation in stereo match-
ing from a perspective of disparity classification and pro-
pose a generic yet efficient Disparity Context Aggregation
(DCA) module to improve the performance of CNN-based
methods.
Parameters:4.96 M;
Only using half-resolution Middlebury training images for validation.
