Abstract
In this paper we propose a slanted plane model for jointly recovering an image segmentation, a dense depth estimate as well as boundary labels (such as occlusion boundaries) from a static scene given two frames of a stereo pair captured from a moving vehicle. Towards this goal we propose a new optimization algorithm for our SLIC-like ob jective which preserves connecteness of image segments and exploits shape regularization in the form of boundary length. We demonstrate the performance of our approach in the challenging stereo and flow KITTI benchmarks and show superior results to the state-of-the-art. Impor- tantly, these results can be achieved an order of magnitude faster than competing approaches.
