Geometric Reciprocity (Ours)

Geometric Reciprocity constructs scalable, high-quality stereo inpainting data from real-world monocular videos, using inference-time consistent masks without relying on paired stereo videos. ~300K Kinetics-GRT Masks

Method Insight

Depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) uses monocular depth estimates to warp the left view into the right view, but newly exposed regions lack ground-truth supervision.

Starting from cycle consistency, GRT shows that pixels failing to complete the target-to-source-to-target round trip exactly reveal the target-view disocclusions, yielding supervision masks for stereo inpainting.
