Abstract: Depth completion is a popular research direction in the field of depth estimation. The fusion of color and depth features is the critical challenge in this task, mainly due to the asymmetry between the rich scene details in color images and the sparse pixels in depth maps. To tackle this issue, we design an efficient Gated Cross-Attention Network that propagates confidence via a gating mechanism, simultaneously extracting and refining key information in both color and depth branches to achieve local spatial feature fusion. Additionally, we incorporate a Transformer-based attention network in low-dimensional space to effectively fuse global features and increase the network’s receptive field. At the same time, we use the Ray Tune mechanism with the AsyncHyperBandScheduler and the HyperOptSearch algorithm to automatically search for the optimal number of module iterations, which also allows us to achieve performance comparable to state-of-the-art methods. We conduct experiments on both indoor and outdoor scene datasets. Our fast network ranked first among real-time methods (below 30ms and 100ms), and our accurate network ranked first among all methods on the KITTI official website at the time of submission.
