OmniDS: Dual-Stream Context Fusion for Omnidirectional Depth from Fisheye Cameras
About
Omnidirectional depth estimation from multi-fisheye camera rigs is complicated by visibility conflicts: wide baselines cause different cameras to observe different portions, or even different faces, of the same object, so aggregating their features into a unified equirectangular (ERP) representation under fixed projection produces ambiguous matching evidence near occlusion boundaries and thin structures. Although existing methods mitigate this by down-weighting unreliable views, they do not resolve the underlying discrepancy because context formation and cross-view fusion remain tied to rigid fisheye-to-ERP sampling. We present OmniDS, an iterative depth refinement framework that replaces rigid aggregation by combining dynamic context fusion with consensus-aware multi-view similarity. A dual-stream encoder pairs a lightweight CNN for geometric detail with a frozen DINOv3 for semantic priors; their features are reprojected into ERP space at each refinement step via learned view weighting and deformable cross-attention with geometric distortion bias. In parallel, a multi-view consensus volume captures global cross-camera agreement through group-wise correlation and feature variance, regularized by a 3D U-Net. For efficient deployment, we distill the dual-stream representation into a single MobileNet-based encoder. OmniDS achieves state-of-the-art performance on the OmniThings, OmniHouse, and Sunny benchmarks while maintaining competitive inference speed.
