E3Stereo improves stereo matching at depth boundaries by learning geometric edges from disparity supervision. It integrates these edges with backbone disparity and image details to predict full‑resolution disparity corrections, emphasizing boundary errors during training. On the Scene Flow dataset, E3Stereo reduces end‑point error at depth boundaries by 9.5%–14.3% across multiple models and improves all eleven metrics on ETH3D, KITTI 2012, and KITTI 2015 after fine‑tuning.

The paper introduces Epipolar Distillation (EpiDistill), a method that transfers scale‑aware geometric priors from multi‑view models to monocular depth foundation models using Rectified Stereo Tokens. By preserving epipolar attention patterns, the single‑view model maintains geometric consistency without needing multi‑view inputs during inference. Experiments show significant improvements in zero‑shot metric depth estimation on challenging datasets such as ETH3D and DIODE, and the approach consistently boosts performance of state‑of‑the‑art ViT‑based models like UniDepthV2 and DepthPro.

The paper introduces DIFTA-3D, a method that replaces the task‑specific visual branch in IIFNet3D with a frozen DINOv3 foundation model for RGB‑D 3D instance detection. It employs a depth‑consistent feature pipeline that projects points into calibrated RGB‑D frames, filters features with a metric depth‑residual check, caches accepted DINOv3 features, and aggregates them within proposal‑aligned RoI grids. Extensive experiments on ScanNetV2 show that the DINOv3 control achieves mAP scores of 76.15/60.93 at IoU thresholds 0.25/0.50, while the Conservative VAID recipe improves these to 76.59/62.16, indicating a modest gain from the proposed transfer recipe.

The paper introduces PIMDE, a self‑supervised monocular depth estimation framework that decomposes input images into perceptual feature maps, each encoding a specific visual cue. Separate depth branches process these maps to produce individual depth estimates, which are then fused explicitly. Experiments on the KITTI benchmark show that PIMDE matches the accuracy of existing self‑supervised methods while offering clearer insight into how each perceptual cue contributes to depth prediction.
