INTRODUCTION
- Depth estimation has a long history in computer vision and has been intensively studied for decades.
-
- Deep learning succeeds in this field as well, with modern deep networks achieving ludricous error rates on established datasets
- such as KITTI, Middlebury, etc.
-
-
Should this evidence suggest that, thanks to deep learning, depth estimation is a solved problem?
-
- Definitely, no! It is time for the community to focus on the open-challenges left unsolved in the field.
- In particular, the Booster dataset identifies two of such hazards:
-
- - Non-Lambertian surfaces, such as those of transparent/reflectant objects
- - High-resolution images
-
- This challenge aims at fostering the community towards developing next-generation monocular or stereo depth networks capable of reasoning at an higher level, and thus yield accurate,
- high-resolution 3D reconstructions for challenging objects, yet of common use.
-
-
-
-
CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION
- This challenge aims at estimating high-resolution disparity or depth maps from stereo or monocular images respectively.
-
- The challenge will be divided into two phases:
-
- -
- Model Construction:
- During this period, the partecipants will have to construct a model for the selected track (Monocular or Stereo).
- The model can be trained using the Booster training split and any additional data.
- The approach can be evaluated on the official validation set of each track.
-
- -
- Testing Period:
- During this period, the participants can submite the predictions of their model on the official test set.
- The disparity/depth maps will be evaluated by the organizers with the quantitative metrics.
-
-
-
-
-
-
TRACKS
- There will be two tracks for the challenge, both hosted by Codalab servers:

-
DATASETS AND SUBMISSION
- All data can be downloaded from CodaLab.
- We use CodaLab servers for online submission in the development and test phase, testing the results on the validation set and test set respectively.
- After the test phase, the final results and the source codes (both training and test) need to be submitted via emails (boosterbenchmark@gmail.com).
- Please refer to our online Codalab website for details of the submission rules [
Codalab Stereo Track], [
Codalab Mono Track].
