Modified Anytime Stereo Image Depth Estimation with Additional Decoder

This is a Modified repository, it is based on the original "Anytime Stereo Image Depth Estimation on Mobile Devices" by Yan Wang, Zihang Lai, Gao Huang, Brian Wang, Laurens van der Maaten, Mark Campbell, and Kilian Q. Weinberger. The original work has been accepted by the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in 2019.

Modifications

In this Branch, the original AnyNet model has undergone experimentation and enhancements as part of a class project. The primary modification involves the addition of an extra decoder for the model, and decoder aggregation techniques have been applied.

Model

Changes Made

1. Additional Decoder: An extra decoder has been integrated into the AnyNet model architecture. This modification aims to explore the impact of multiple decoders on the stereo image depth estimation task.

2. Decoder Aggregation: Techniques for decoder aggregation have been implemented to leverage the outputs of both the original and the added decoder. This experimentation is conducted to enhance the depth estimation results and explore potential improvements in accuracy.
