提出新理论模型,精准筛选提升两视图几何估计的优质关键点
Good Keypoints for the Two-View Geometry Estimation Problem
- 基于可重复性与小测量误差设计关键点评分模型
- 新检测器在平面单应性估计中超越现有自监督方法
- 适合对关键点质量要求高的视觉定位与重建任务
局部特征在众多现代下游应用中至关重要。本文提出一种新的理论模型,用于评估两视图几何估计问题中的特征点(关键点)质量。该模型指出,优秀的关键点应具备两个特性:可重复性和小的期望测量误差。这一发现解释了为何单纯增加匹配数量并不总能提升单应性估计精度。基于此模型,我们设计了一种新的关键点检测方法——有界邻域子像素稳定性增强(BoNeSS-ST)。其创新之处在于坚实的理论基础、通过亚像素精修实现更精确的评分,以及针对低显著性关键点优化的成本函数。实验表明,BoNeSS-ST在平面单应性估计任务上优于现有自监督局部特征检测器,在对极几何估计任务上达到相当水平。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Local features are essential to many modern downstream applications. Therefore, it is of interest to determine the properties of local features that contribute to the downstream performance for a better design of feature detectors and descriptors. In our work, we propose a new theoretical model for scoring feature points (keypoints) in the context of the two-view geometry estimation problem. The model determines two properties that a good keypoint for solving the homography estimation problem should have: be repeatable and have a small expected measurement error. This result provides key insights into why maximizing the number of correspondences doesn't always lead to better homography estimation accuracy. We use the developed model to design a method that detects keypoints that benefit the homography estimation and introduce the Bounded NeSS-ST (BoNeSS-ST) keypoint detector. The novelty of BoNeSS-ST comes from strong theoretical foundations, a more accurate keypoint scoring due to subpixel refinement and a cost designed for superior robustness to low saliency keypoints. As a result, BoNeSS-ST outperforms prior self-supervised local feature detectors on the planar homography estimation task and is on par with them on the epipolar geometry estimation task.
