contents In this paper, we introduce a novel Gaussian mixture based evidential learning solution for robust stereo matching. Diverging from previous evidential deep learning approaches that rely on a single Gaussian distribution, our framework posits that individual image data adheres to a mixture-of-Gaussian distribution in stereo matching. This assumption yields more precise pixel-level predictions and more accurately mirrors the real-world image distribution. By further employing the inverse-Gamma distribution as an intermediary prior for each mixture component, our probabilistic model achieves improved depth estimation compared to its counterpart with the single Gaussian and effectively captures the model uncertainty, which enables a strong cross-domain generation ability. We evaluated our method for stereo matching by training the model using the Scene Flow dataset and testing it on KITTI 2015 and Middlebury 2014. The experiment results consistently show that our method brings improvements over the baseline methods in a trustworthy manner. Notably, our approach achieved new state-of-the-art results on both the in-domain validated data and the cross-domain datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness in stereo matching tasks.
