αDepth Adds Layered Depth Estimation for Hair and Blur in Stereo Conversion
May 28, 2026
αDepth introduces a layered representation that separates foreground and background color and depth values at soft boundaries like hair and defocus blur, enabling single-pass stereo conversion without user intervention. A Circular Alpha Representation handles complex multi-target scenes where existing single-layer depth models produce ambiguous correspondences.

HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderYou can apply this to stereo conversion pipelines where hair and defocus regions currently degrade output quality without requiring manual matting steps.
●
researcherThe layered decomposition approach for soft boundary depth estimation offers a new direction for handling opacity in monocular-to-stereo pipelines.
