Previous approaches have struggled with the heterogeneity and complementarity of the multi-modal inputs, and neglected the issues of modal misalignment, geometrical misalignment, and feature selection. In this study, we rethink some essential components in GDSR networks and propose a simple yet effective Dynamic Dual Alignment and Aggregation network (D2A2). D2A2 mainly consists of 1) a dynamic dual alignment module that adapts to alleviate the modal misalignment via a learnable domain alignment block and geometrically align cross-modal features by learning the offset; and 2) a mask-to-pixel feature aggregate module that uses the gated mechanism and pixel attention to filter out irrelevant texture noise from RGB features and combine the useful features with depth features. By combining the strengths of RGB and depth features while minimizing disturbance introduced by the RGB image, our method with simple reuse and redesign of basic components achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmark datasets.
