New method improves sparse-view neural reconstruction with selective depth supervision

Researchers have developed a method to improve sparse-view neural reconstruction in outdoor driving scenes by selectively applying monocular depth supervision. The technique uses Depth Anything V2 to provide dense geometric priors, aligning them to metric depth and applying supervision through photometric masks derived from an RGB-only baseline model. This approach showed significant improvements in rendering quality and metric geometry for Splatfacto scene representations on the KITTISeq02 dataset, while yielding only marginal gains for Mip-NeRF-360.
