Abstract

Learning-based multi-view stereo (MVS) methods have made impressive progress and surpassed traditional methods in recent years. However, their accuracy and completeness are still struggling. In this paper, we propose a new method to enhance the performance of existing networks inspired by contrastive learning and feature matching. First, we propose a Contrast Matching Loss (CML), which treats the correct matching points in depth-dimension as positive sample and other points as negative samples, and computes the contrastive loss based on the similarity of features. We further propose a Weighted Focal Loss (WFL) for better classification capability, which weakens the contribution of low-confidence pixels in unimportant areas to the loss according to predicted confidence. Extensive experiments performed on DTU, Tanks and Temples and BlendedMVS datasets show our method achieves state-of-the-art performance and significant improvement over baseline network.
