SELF-SUPERVISED DEPTH COMPLETION VIA ADAPTIVE SAMPLING AND RELATIVE CONSISTENCY

Depth sensing is crucial for many computer vision applications. Commodity-level RGB-D cameras are often unable to sense depth in distant, reflective and transparent regions, resulting in large missing areas. As the acquisition of depth annotations in missing areas is tedious, we propose a selfsupervised method for the task of completing depth values of missing areas. Specifically, we sample the incomplete raw depth map via an adaptive sampling strategy to generate a more incomplete depth map as the input and use the raw depth map as the training label. To enable the network to propagate long-range depth information to fill large invalid areas, we further propose a relative consistency loss during training. Experiments validate the effectiveness of our self-supervised method, which outperforms previous unsupervised methods and even can compete with some supervised methods.
