New soccer view synthesis method uses depth guidance and ensembles

Researchers have developed DENSER, a novel approach for synthesizing new views of soccer matches using depth guidance and staged reconstruction. This method incorporates camera-height-based loss weighting, monocular depth supervision from Depth-Anything-V2 to improve geometry in textureless areas, and a three-model ensemble for enhanced reconstruction. DENSER achieved strong performance on five test scenes, with reported metrics including a mean PSNR of 29.89 dB, SSIM of 0.791, and LPIPS of 0.366. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel method for synthesizing new views in sports broadcasts, potentially improving replay quality and analysis tools.

    DENSER: Depth-Guided Ensemble with Staged EFA-GS Reconstruction for Soccer Novel View Synthesis

    arXiv:2606.01419v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose DENSER, a Depth-guided ENSemble with Staged EFA-GS Reconstruction for soccer novel view synthesis. DENSER extends EFA-GS with three key contributions: (1) camera-height-based loss weighting that prioritises ground-level b…
