AquaStereo: Enabling Underwater Stereo Matching via Depth-Conditioned Diffusion and Geometry Self-Distillation

Learning-based stereo matching models struggle in underwater environments due to scarce in-domain data and the difficulty of extracting discriminative correspondences from degraded imagery. In this work, we present $\textbf{AquaStereo}$, a perception-enhanced framework with a data simulation pipeline and a self-distillation strategy that jointly address data scarcity and feature degradation in underwater stereo matching.

One View Is Enough: In-the-Wild Monocular Pretraining for Novel View Generation

The paper introduces OVIE, a monocular novel-view synthesis method that eliminates the need for multi‑view training data. By using a frozen depth estimator to generate pseudo‑target views from single images and applying masked and adversarial losses, OVIE is trained on 30 million uncurated images. It achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on RealEstate10K and DL3DV, produces highly consistent multi‑view trajectories, and runs at 116 FPS—over 600× faster than the fastest baseline.

SatUnreal: A High-Precision Synthetic Dataset for Satellite Stereo Matching via Unreal Engine

SatUnreal is a synthetic dataset created with Unreal Engine that offers 10,000 high‑resolution (0.3 m GSD) satellite stereo pairs. It addresses key limitations of existing benchmarks by ensuring physical geometry simulation, spatio‑temporal consistency, topographic diversity, and mathematically precise occlusion masks via a two‑step line‑trace algorithm. Models trained solely on SatUnreal outperform those trained on real datasets when transferred to real‑world benchmarks such as US3D and WHU‑Stereo.

Con-DSO: Learning Short-Horizon Consistency Priors for RGB-D Direct Sparse Odometry

Con-DSO introduces a consistency-aware RGB‑D direct sparse odometry framework that learns pixel‑level photometric and geometric uncertainty from adjacent RGB‑D frame pairs. The network predicts uncertainties that are converted into pairwise quality scores, guiding support‑pixel selection and forming a host‑side quality prior for keyframe tracking. Experiments on five public benchmarks show that this approach reduces absolute trajectory error by over 20% on ICL‑NUIM and by 50–80% on other datasets, improving robustness in challenging environments.
