Structure-Preserving Stereoscopic View Synthesis With Multi-Scale Adversarial Correlation Matching

This paper addresses stereoscopic view synthesis from a single image. Various recent works solve this task by reorganizing pixels from the input view to reconstruct the target one in a stereo setup. However, purely depending on such photometric-based reconstruction process, the network may produce structurally inconsistent results. Regarding this issue, this work proposes Multi-Scale Adversarial Correlation Matching (MS-ACM), a novel learning framework for structure-aware view synthesis. The proposed framework does not assume any costly supervision signal of scene structures such as depth. Instead, it models structures as self-correlation coefficients extracted from multi-scale feature maps in transformed spaces. In training, the feature space attempts to push the correlation distances between the synthesized and target images far apart, thus amplifying inconsistent structures. At the same time, the view synthesis network minimizes such correlation distances by fixing mistakes it makes. With such adversarial training, structural errors of different scales and levels are iteratively discovered and reduced, preserving both global layouts and fine-grained details. Extensive experiments on the KITTI benchmark show that MS-ACM improves both visual quality and the metrics over existing methods when plugged into recent view synthesis architectures.
