A fundamental topic in computer vision for nearly half a century, stereo matching involves calculating dense disparity maps from two corrected pictures. It plays a critical role in many applications, including autonomous driving, robotics, and augmented reality, among many others. According to their cost-volume computation and optimization methodologies, existing surveys categorize end-to-end architectures into 2D…

The research on vision-language models (VLMs) has gained significant momentum, driven by their potential to revolutionize various applications, including visual assistance for visually impaired individuals. However, current evaluations of these models often need to pay more attention to the complexities introduced by multi-object scenarios and diverse cultural contexts. Two notable studies shed light on these…
