Query: Self-supervised Learning of Depth Inference for Multi-view Stereo   Recent supervised multi-view depth estimation networks have achieved
promising results. Similar to all supervised approaches, these networks require
ground-truth data during training. However, collecting a large amount of
multi-view depth data is very challenging. Here, we propose a self-supervised
learning framework for multi-view stereo that exploit pseudo labels from the
input data. We start by learning to estimate depth maps as initial pseudo
labels under an unsupervised learning framework relying on image reconstruction
loss as supervision. We then refine the initial pseudo labels using a carefully
designed pipeline leveraging depth information inferred from higher resolution
images and neighboring views. We use these high-quality pseudo labels as the
supervision signal to train the network and improve, iteratively, its
performance by self-training. Extensive experiments on the DTU dataset show
that our proposed self-supervised learning framework outperforms existing
unsupervised multi-view stereo networks by a large margin and performs on par
compared to the supervised counterpart. Code is available at
