NAIMA framework uses semantic priors for improved depth super-resolution

Researchers have introduced NAIMA, a novel framework for Guided Depth Super-Resolution (GDSR) that leverages semantic priors from pretrained vision transformers. Unlike previous methods that rely on decoded predictions like surface normals or segmentation maps, NAIMA injects undecoded semantic token embeddings directly into the depth restoration process. This approach, utilizing a Guided Token Attention (GTA) module, allows for implicit alignment of semantic information with depth data under a single reconstruction loss, leading to improved performance and stronger cross-dataset generalization.

    NAIMA: Semantics Aware RGB Guided Depth Super-Resolution

    arXiv:2604.04407v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Guided depth super-resolution (GDSR) is a multi-modal approach for depth map super-resolution that relies on a low-resolution depth map and a high-resolution RGB image to restore finer structural details. However, the misl…
