About this paper

Ziang Cheng, Jiayu Yang, Hongdong Li

Researchers at Tencent XR Vision Labs and the Australian National University introduce XR-Stereo, a new synthetic indoor video stereo dataset with photorealistic renderings and realistic 6-DoF camera motion. They also propose a continuous video stereo matching framework that leverages temporal redundancy to achieve over 100 FPS inference speed on desktop GPUs and 30 FPS on HMDs while maintaining high accuracy.

Key insights

  • Leveraging temporal redundancy by warping and reusing previous frame information allows for a substantial reduction in per-frame computational cost while maintaining or improving disparity estimation accuracy.
  • Physically-based rendering, realistic lens effects, and HMD-captured camera motion are crucial for synthetic datasets to bridge the reality gap and effectively train models for real-world XR applications.
  • The proposed framework can achieve real-time performance (over 100 FPS) with only a single GRU iteration per frame, comparable to single-frame methods running 20 iterations, demonstrating significant efficiency gains.
