Although the existing convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning architectures have obtained state-of-the-art depth completion results, depth ambiguities in large areas with extremely sparse depth measurements remain a challenge. To address this problem, an efficient hierarchical feature fusion network (HFF-Net) is proposed for producing complete and accurate depth completion results. The key components of HFF-Net are the hierarchical depth completion architecture for predicting a robust initial depth map, and the multi-level spatial propagation network (MLSPN) for progressively refining the predicted initial depth map in a coarse-to-fine manner to generate a high-quality depth completion result. Firstly, the hierarchical feature extraction subnetwork is adopted to extract multi-scale feature maps. Secondly, the hierarchical depth completion architecture that incorporates a hierarchical feature fusion module and a progressive depth rectification module is utilized to generate an accurate and reliable initial depth map. Finally, the MLSPN-based depth map refinement subnetwork is adopted, which progressively refines the initial depth map utilizing multi-level affinity weights to achieve a state-of-the-art depth completion result. Extensive experiments were undertaken on two widely used public datasets, i.e., the KITTI depth completion and NYUv2 datasets, to validate the performance of HFF-Net. The comprehensive experimental results indicate that HFF-Net produces robust depth completion results on both datasets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi14110412","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,23]],"date-time":"2025-10-23T09:44:30Z","timestamp":1761212670000},"page":"412","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["HFF-Net: An Efficient Hierarchical Feature Fusion Network for High-Quality Depth Completion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mao","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiaosheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Artificial Intelligence, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wuyang","family":"Shan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Cyber Security, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wang, Y., Li, B., Zhang, G., Liu, Q., Gao, T., and Dai, Y.
