مستخلص: The Rich spatial and angular information in light field images enables accurate depth estimation, which is a crucial aspect of environmental perception. However, the abundance of light field information also leads to high computational costs and memory pressure. Typically, selectively pruning some light field information can significantly improve computational efficiency but at the expense of reduced depth estimation accuracy in the pruned model, especially in low-texture regions and occluded areas where angular diversity is reduced. In this study, we propose a lightweight disparity estimation model that balances speed and accuracy and enhances depth estimation accuracy in textureless regions. We combined cost matching methods based on absolute difference and correlation to construct cost volumes, improving both accuracy and robustness. Additionally, we developed a multi-scale disparity cost fusion architecture, employing 3D convolutions and a UNet-like structure to handle matching costs at different depth scales. This method effectively integrates information across scales, utilizing the UNet structure for efficient fusion and completion of cost volumes, thus yielding more precise depth maps. Extensive testing shows that our method achieves computational efficiency on par with the most efficient existing methods, yet with double the accuracy. Moreover, our approach achieves comparable accuracy to the current highest-accuracy methods but with an order of magnitude improvement in computational performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
