Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new approach for dense depth estimation based on multimodal stereo images. Our approach employs a combined cost function utilizing robust metrics and a transformation to an illumination independent representation. Additionally, we present a confidence based weighting scheme which allows a pixel-wise weight adjustment within the cost function. We demonstrate the capabilities of our approach using RGB- and thermal images. The resulting depth maps are evaluated by comparing them to depth measurements of a Velodyne HDL-64E LiDAR sensor. We show that our method outperforms current state of the art dense matching methods regarding depth estimation based on multimodal input images.

Stereo matching by training a convolutional neural network to compare image patches

TL;DR: In this paper, the first stage of many stereo algorithms, matching cost computation, is addressed by learning a similarity measure on small image patches using a convolutional neural network, and then a series of post-processing steps follow: cross-based cost aggregation, semiglobal matching, left-right consistency check, subpixel enhancement, a median filter, and a bilateral filter.
