Researchers have developed GHOST, a novel framework designed to improve depth estimation and 3D reconstruction of transparent objects. This geometry-guided preprocessing method transforms transparent regions into opaque, structurally consistent representations. GHOST utilizes visual foundation models like TransDINO, TransDecomp, DAF-Net, and GeoSemTransNet to disentangle masks, physical properties, and surface normals, ultimately synthesizing an opaque RGB image that preserves the object's 3D structure. Experiments show GHOST significantly enhances the accuracy of existing depth estimation and reconstruction models when applied to transparent objects. AI
