WAFT-Stereo: Warping-Alone Field Transforms for Stereo Matching: 3 upvotes on Hugging Face Daily Papers, #22 of 29 papers on 2026-03-27. Day-by-day upvote history.

We introduce WAFT-Stereo, a simple and effective warping-based method for stereo matching. WAFT-Stereo demonstrates that cost volumes, a common design used in many leading methods, are not necessary for strong performance and can be replaced by warping with improved efficiency. WAFT-Stereo ranks first on ETH3D, KITTI and Middlebury public benchmarks, reducing the zero-shot error by 81% on ETH3D benchmark, while being 1.8-6.7x faster than competitive methods.
