MSDC-Net: Multi-Scale Dense and Contextual Networks for Automated Disparity Map for Stereo Matching
Disparity prediction from stereo images is essential to computer vision applications including autonomous driving, 3D model reconstruction, and object detection. To predict accurate disparity map, we propose a novel deep learning architecture for detectingthe disparity map from a rectified pair of stereo images, called MSDC-Net. Our MSDC-Net contains two modules: multi-scale fusion 2D convolution and multi-scale residual 3D convolution modules. The multi-scale fusion 2D convolution module exploits the potential multi-scale features, which extracts and fuses the different scale features by Dense-Net. The multi-scale residual 3D convolution module learns the different scale geometry context from the cost volume which aggregated by the multi-scale fusion 2D convolution module. Experimental results on Scene Flow and KITTI datasets demonstrate that our MSDC-Net significantly outperforms other approaches in the non-occluded region.
