A Comparative Evaluation of SGM Variants (including a New Variant, tMGM) for Dense Stereo Matching
Our goal here is threefold: [1] To present a new dense-stereo matching algorithm, tMGM, that by combining the hierarchical logic of tSGM with the support structure of MGM achieves 6-8\% performance improvement over the baseline SGM (these performance numbers are posted under tMGM-16 in the Middlebury Benchmark V3 ); and [2] Through an exhaustive quantitative and qualitative comparative study, to compare how the major variants of the SGM approach to dense stereo matching, including the new tMGM, perform in the presence of: (a) illumination variations and shadows, (b) untextured or weakly textured regions, (c) repetitive patterns in the scene in the presence of large stereo rectification errors. [3] To present a novel DEM-Sculpting approach for estimating initial disparity search bounds for multi-date satellite stereo pairs. Based on our study, we have found that tMGM generally performs best with respect to all these data conditions. Both tSGM and MGM improve the density of stereo disparity maps and combining the two in tMGM makes it possible to accurately estimate the disparities at a significant number of pixels that would otherwise be declared invalid by SGM. The datasets we have used in our comparative evaluation include the Middlebury2014, KITTI2015, and ETH3D datasets and the satellite images over the San Fernando area from the MVS Challenge dataset.

Refinement of genetic variants needs attention
Variant calling refinement is crucial for distinguishing true genetic variants from technical artifacts in high-throughput sequencing data. Manual review is time-consuming while heuristic filtering often lacks optimal so…
Low-Cost Neural Radiance Fields
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) achieve high-quality novel-view synthesis, but their long training times and reliance on dense input views limit accessibility. We present a comparative study of three accelerated NeRF varia…
Attentions Under the Microscope: A Comparative Study of Resource Utilization for Variants of Self-Attention
As large language models (LLMs) and visual language models (VLMs) grow in scale and application, attention mechanisms have become a central computational bottleneck due to their high memory and time complexity. While man…
Deep Architectures for Neural Machine Translation
It has been shown that increasing model depth improves the quality of neural machine translation. However, different architectural variants to increase model depth have been proposed, and so far, there has been no thorou…
