Real Time Dense Depth Estimation by Fusing Stereo with Sparse Depth Measurements

Published in 2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2019

We present an approach to depth estimation that fuses information from a stereo pair with sparse range measurements derived from a LIDAR sensor or a range camera.
