WAFT-Stereo: Warping-Alone Field Transforms for Stereo Matching
WAFT-Stereo is a simple and effective warping-based method for stereo matching. It demonstrates that cost volumes, a common design used in many leading methods, are not necessary for strong performance and can be replaced by warping with improved efficiency.
WAFT-Stereo ranks first on ETH3D, KITTI and Middlebury public benchmarks, reducing the zero-shot error by 81% on ETH3D benchmark, while being 1.8-6.7x faster than competitive methods.
