Awesome-Deep-Stereo-Matching Awesome

Welcome to the "Awesome-Deep-Stereo-Matching" repository, a curated list of state-of-the-art deep stereo matching resources maintained by Fabio Tosi, Matteo Poggi and Luca Bartolomei, from the University of Bologna. This repository, inspired by awesome-computer-vision, aims to provide a comprehensive collection of the latest and most influential papers on deep stereo matching published in top-tier computer vision conferences and prestigious journals.

The methods included in this repository are appropriately categorized to facilitate navigation and understanding of the diverse approaches and techniques employed in deep stereo matching research. Additionally, for anyone in need, we also release the reference bib which contains the bib entries for all the works included in this page.

We use the :triangular_flag_on_post: symbol to highlight the absolute most groundbreaking works.

:rotating_light: :rotating_light: :rotating_light: This repository is closely associated with our surveys on deep stereo matching:

  1. "A Survey on Deep Stereo Matching in the Twenties", Tosi et al., 2024
  2. "On the Synergies between Machine Learning and Binocular Stereo for Depth Estimation from Images: a Survey", Poggi et al., 2021
  3. "On the confidence of stereo matching in a deep-learning era: a quantitative evaluation", Poggi et al., 2022

These surveys provides an in-depth overview of the field, complementing the curated list of resources found in this repository.

Additionally, we presented a tutorial on this topic at CVPR 2024. For more information about the tutorial, including slides and additional resources, please visit our Tutorial Webpage.

If you find this repository valuable, please consider citing it in your work and giving it a star ! :star:
