MGDepth: Motion-Guided Cost Volume For Self-Supervised Monocular Depth In Dynamic Scenarios
Despite advancements in self-supervised monocular depth estimation, challenges persist in dynamic scenarios due to the dependence on assumptions about a static world. In this paper, we present MGDepth, a Motion-Guided Cost Volume Depth Net, to achieve precise depth estimation for both dynamic objects and static backgrounds, all while maintaining computational efficiency. To tackle the challenges posed by dynamic content, we incorporate optical flow and coarse monocular depth to create a novel static reference frame. This frame is then utilized to build a motion-guided cost volume in collaboration with the target frame. Additionally, to enhance the accuracy and resilience of the network structure, we introduce an attention-based depth net architecture to effectively integrate information from feature maps with varying resolutions. Compared to methods with similar computational costs, MGDepth achieves a significant reduction of approximately seven percent in root-mean-square error for self-supervised monocular depth estimation on the KITTI-2015 dataset.
