DFI-OmniStereo is a novel omnidirectional stereo matching method that leverages a pre-trained depth foundation model for accurate depth estimation.
Omnidirectional depth perception is essential for mobile robotics applications, and camera-based setups provide a cost-effective solution.
Existing omnidirectional stereo matching approaches face limitations in accuracy due to the lack of real-world data.
DFI-OmniStereo achieves state-of-the-art results on the real-world Helvipad dataset, significantly reducing disparity mean absolute error (MAE) compared to previous methods.
