Overview of STDNet. Given $\boldsymbol D_{LR}$, we first predict its spatial difference representation $\boldsymbol \sigma$. Then, $\boldsymbol D_{LR}$, $\boldsymbol I$, and $\boldsymbol \sigma$ are jointly fed into the spatial difference to enhance non-smooth regions, producing $\boldsymbol F_{sd}$. Next, we estimate the temporal difference representations for consecutive frames and cross frames, generating $\boldsymbol \varphi$ and $\widehat{\boldsymbol \varphi}$. These difference representations are used to propagate adjacent RGB and depth frames to the current depth frame, generating HR depth video $\boldsymbol D_{HR}$. Finally, a degradation regularization takes $\boldsymbol D_{HR}$, $\boldsymbol D_{GT}$, $\boldsymbol \sigma$, $\boldsymbol \varphi$, and $\widehat{\boldsymbol \varphi}$ as inputs to optimize the learning of spatiotemporal difference representations.
