Abstract
This study presents Mamba-Based Multi-Branch Cost Aggregation for Stereo Matching (MMBStereo), an innovative real-time stereo matching framework with high performance. The core innovation lies in the Mamba-based multi-branch cost aggregation network, which uses a unique three-branch aggregation strategy. The Mamba Aggregation Branch integrates the State Space Model from the Mamba structure, replacing conventional convolution and Transformer methods, significantly enhancing network performance and efficiency. The Spatial Aggregation Branch addresses the loss of spatial texture information, improving the scene’s contextual representation. Meanwhile, the Edge Aggregation Branch enhances edge responses, improving object boundary detection accuracy. Through a carefully designed multi-branch fusion strategy, the framework improves disparity prediction accuracy while maintaining real-time inference. Our method achieves competitive accuracy with non-real-time stereo matching frameworks, surpassing existing lightweight solutions in the widely recognized KITTI benchmark tests.
