About this paper

Jian Shi, Zhenyu Li, Peter Wonka

Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) developed ImmersePro, an end-to-end framework for synthesizing stereo video from monocular input, and introduced the YouTube-SBS dataset. ImmersePro employs implicit and layered disparity learning to generate temporally consistent right-view frames, achieving superior visual quality and quantitative performance against state-of-the-art methods.

Key insights

  • Implicit disparity guidance is critical for the convergence of the model, enabling the learning of stereo effects without direct, potentially error-prone, explicit disparity maps.
  • A layered disparity representation, coupled with a specific pixel selection algorithm, effectively mitigates blurring artifacts and improves clarity in the generated stereo views, outperforming direct implicit disparity usage.
  • Integrating spatial-temporal attention and a context fusion module across different feature branches is essential for maintaining temporal consistency and enriching semantic details in the synthesized stereo videos.
