Dual-pixel (DP) imaging enables metric depth estimation from a single camera using sub-aperture disparity. However, the extremely small effective baseline limits disparity observability, leading to structural degradation and depth failure in textureless, low-contrast, or downsampled regions.

The paper introduces AffineGS, a method that improves the geometric accuracy of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) by applying a spatially varying affine rectification to monocular depth estimates. It identifies that monocular depth networks suffer from region-dependent, piecewise-linear distortions, rendering global alignment ineffective. By employing edge-aware, regionally smooth fields and a normal-aware regularizer, AffineGS aligns disparity with 3DGS depth and normals, achieving strong photometric quality while significantly enhancing geometry across diverse experiments.

The paper introduces HypoDepth, an event-image monocular depth estimation framework that uses a discrete Depth Hypothesis Volume (DHV) to convert depth regression into a constrained search problem. By building a lightweight 3D cost volume between DHV features and contextual features, the method performs multi-scale correlation search for stable residual optimization, enabling efficient global-to-local refinement across resolutions. Experiments on DSEC and MVSEC show state‑of‑the‑art performance, strong zero‑shot generalization, and real‑time capability on resource‑limited devices.
