In this paper, we present Shift Convolution Network (ShiftConvNet) to provide matching capability between two feature maps for stereo estimation. The proposed method can speedily produce a highly accurate disparity map from stereo images. A module called shift convolution layer is proposed to replace the traditional correlation layer to perform patch comparisons between two feature maps. By using a novel architecture of convolutional network to learn the matching process, ShiftConvNet can produce better results than DispNet-C[1], also running faster with 5 fps. Moreover, with a proposed auto shift convolution refine part, further improvement is obtained. The proposed approach was evaluated on FlyingThings 3D. It achieves state-of-the-art results on the benchmark dataset. Codes will be made available at github.
