First, the speckle pattern was projected by the projector and collected simultaneously by the stereo camera. The speckle images after stereo rectification are fed into the stereo matching network. A feature extraction sub-network based on shared weights processes the speckle images to obtain a series of low-resolution 3D feature tensors, The feature tensor is fed into the saliency object detection sub-network to detect foreground information in the speckle images, producing a full-resolution valid mask map. A 4D matching cost volume is generated using the feature tensor of both views based on the candidate disparity range, filtered by a series of 3D convolutional layers to achieve cost aggregation, so that the initial disparity map is obtained by disparity regression.
