Abstract

Cost volume plays a pivotal role in stereo matching. Most recent works focused on deep feature extraction and cost refinement for a more accurate cost volume. Unlike them, we probe from a different perspective: feature wrangling. We find that simple wrangling of deep features can effectively improve the construction of cost volume and thus the performance of stereo matching. Specifically, we develop two simple yet effective wrangling techniques of deep features, spatially a differentiable feature transformation and channel-wise a memory-economical feature expansion, for better cost construction. Exploiting the local ordering information provided by a differentiable rank transform, we achieve an enhancement of the search for correspondence; with the help of disparity division, our feature expansion allows for more features into the cost volume with no extra memory required. Equipped with these two feature wrangling techniques, our simple network can perform outstandingly on the widely used KITTI and Sceneflow datasets.
