- 在PointNet基础上加入丢弃层,实现预测不确定性的量化
- 通过剔除高不确定性预测,使模型准确率从30%提升至80%
- 适合需要高可靠视角选择的机器人三维重建场景
Next Best View(NBV)问题是机器人领域广泛研究的计算机视觉问题。传统方法多依赖几何或优化策略,近年出现基于深度学习的方案。但深度模型预测天然带有不确定性,现有标准模型无法量化该不确定性。本文提出将基于PointNet的神经网络用于点云建模中的NBV任务,并引入丢弃层以实现预测不确定性估计。通过两种不确定性度量分别反映预测误差与准确性,识别并剔除高不确定性预测,使模型错误率下降,准确率从30%提升至80%。同时提出一种直接利用不确定性改进预测的方法,但其增益有限。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The Next Best View problem is a computer vision problem widely studied in robotics. To solve it, several methodologies have been proposed over the years. Some, more recently, propose the use of deep learning models. Predictions obtained with the help of deep learning models naturally have some uncertainty associated with them. Despite this, the standard models do not allow for their quantification. However, Bayesian estimation theory contributed to the demonstration that dropout layers allow to estimate prediction uncertainty in neural networks. This work adapts the point-net-based neural network for Next-Best-View (PC-NBV). It incorporates dropout layers into the model's architecture, thus allowing the computation of the uncertainty estimate associated with its predictions. The aim of the work is to improve the network's accuracy in correctly predicting the next best viewpoint, proposing a way to make the 3D reconstruction process more efficient. Two uncertainty measurements capable of reflecting the prediction's error and accuracy, respectively, were obtained. These enabled the reduction of the model's error and the increase in its accuracy from 30\% to 80\% by identifying and disregarding predictions with high values of uncertainty. Another method that directly uses these uncertainty metrics to improve the final prediction was also proposed. However, it showed very residual improvements.
