Rethinking Monocular Depth Embedding for Generalized Stereo Matching
Generally, monocular methods capture rich contextual priors but lack geometric precision, whereas stereo methods are geometrically accurate yet struggle in textureless and occluded regions. Several approaches attempt to combine their strengths to enhance the generalization of stereo matching (SM) by aligning monocular depth with stereo information. However, establishing a stable and generalizable alignment is challenging, and unreliable monocular cues can substantially degrade performance. This paper rethinks monocular depth embedding. First, to prevent shortcut learning, we reduce branch coupling instead of expanding network width. Second, we construct soft constraints instead of hard on...
