PVSDNet: Allows query of both novel views and its corresponding depth from a single image input

Abstract

Real-time novel view synthesis (NVS) and depth estimation are pivotal for immersive applications, particularly in augmented telepresence. While state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation methods could be employed to predict depth maps for novel views, their independent processing of novel views often leads to temporal inconsistencies, such as flickering artifacts in depth maps. To address this, we present a unified multimodal framework that generates both novel view images and their corresponding depth maps, ensuring geometric and visual consistency.
