DynamicStereo: Consistent Dynamic Depth from Stereo Videos

Nikita Karaev, Ignacio Rocco, Benjamin Graham, Natalia Neverova, Andrea Vedaldi, Christian Rupprecht

CVPR 2023

We introduce Dynamic Replica, a synthetic benchmark dataset for dynamic depth-from-stereo models, and propose DynamicStereo, a temporally consistent disparity estimation model that we train on this dataset.
