Researchers have introduced GeoStereo, a novel framework that unifies stereo geometry estimation for both disparity and surface normal prediction. This approach leverages diffusion priors to enhance performance in challenging visual scenarios, such as low-light conditions, reflective surfaces, and transparent objects. GeoStereo couples a feed-forward stereo matching pipeline with a diffusion-based normal estimation branch, enabling the diffusion model to provide structural priors that improve disparity estimation and vice versa. The framework has demonstrated state-of-the-art results on benchmarks like KITTI and NYUv2 for disparity estimation and achieves top accuracy on indoor datasets such as iBims-1 and ScanNet for normal prediction.
