DVMN: Dense Validity Mask Network for Depth Completion (2107.06709v1)

Published 14 Jul 2021 in cs.CV and eess.IV

Abstract: LiDAR depth maps provide environmental guidance in a variety of applications. However, such depth maps are typically sparse and insufficient for complex tasks such as autonomous navigation. State of the art methods use image guided neural networks for dense depth completion. We develop a guided convolutional neural network focusing on gathering dense and valid information from sparse depth maps. To this end, we introduce a novel layer with spatially variant and content-depended dilation to include additional data from sparse input. Furthermore, we propose a sparsity invariant residual bottleneck block. We evaluate our Dense Validity Mask Network (DVMN) on the KITTI depth completion benchmark and achieve state of the art results. At the time of submission, our network is the leading method using sparsity invariant convolution.
