Outline

To address the challenges of developing generalizable stereo matching models, which often result in performance degradation due to changes in resolution and disparity range, we propose {S\textsuperscript{2}M\textsuperscript{2}}, which overcomes the limitations of local search methods and the high computational cost of global matching architectures. This model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and efficiency without the need for cost volume filtering or deep refinement stacks, enhances long-range correspondence through multi-resolution transformers, and utilizes a novel loss function that focuses probabilities on valid matches to provide more robust disparity, occlusion, and confidence estimates. As a result, it outperforms existing models on the Middlebury v3 and ETH3D benchmarks.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We present a successful new approach to developing generalizable stereo matching models.
We demonstrate the practicality of the global matching architecture by solving the computational cost problem.
Simultaneously improving accuracy and efficiency by leveraging multi-resolution transformers and novel loss functions.
Achieved SOTA on Middlebury v3 and ETH3D benchmarks.
Limitations:
The specific Limitations is not specified in the paper. (However, as with all deep learning models, limitations may exist, such as training data bias, computational complexity, and performance degradation in certain environments.)
