We propose a learning-based network for depth map estimation from multi-view stereo (MVS) images. Our proposed network consists of three sub-networks: 1) a base network for initial depth map estimation from an unstructured stereo image pair, 2) a novel refinement network that leverages both photometric and geometric information, and 3) an attentional multi-view aggregation framework that enables efficient information exchange and integration among different stereo image pairs. The proposed network, called A-TVSNet, is evaluated on various MVS datasets and shows the ability to produce high quality depth map that outperforms competing approaches. Our code is available at https://github.com/daiszh/A-TVSNet.
