CoProU-VO: Combining Projected Uncertainty for End-to-End Unsupervised Monocular Visual Odometry
- 利用时序不确定性融合机制,结合当前帧与投影参考帧的置信度
- 在KITTI和nuScenes上相比现有方法误差降低12.3%以上
- 适合自动驾驶、机器人导航等动态环境下的实时定位任务
视觉里程计(VO)是自主导航、机器人和增强现实的基础,无监督方法无需昂贵的真实标签。然而,当动态物体违反静态场景假设时,传统方法会产生错误位姿估计。本文提出一种不确定性建模方法,通过生成鲁棒掩码过滤动态物体和遮挡,无需显式运动分割。传统方法仅依赖单帧信息,忽略帧间不确定性。我们提出跨帧不确定性传播的思想,设计了端到端的联合投影不确定性视觉里程计(CoProU-VO),基于视觉变换器骨干网络,同时学习深度、不确定性估计和相机位姿。在KITTI和nuScenes数据集上的实验表明,该方法显著优于以往无监督单目两帧法,在复杂高速公路场景中表现更优。消融实验证明跨帧不确定性传播的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Visual Odometry (VO) is fundamental to autonomous navigation, robotics, and augmented reality, with unsupervised approaches eliminating the need for expensive ground-truth labels. However, these methods struggle when dynamic objects violate the static scene assumption, leading to erroneous pose estimations. We tackle this problem by uncertainty modeling, which is a commonly used technique that creates robust masks to filter out dynamic objects and occlusions without requiring explicit motion segmentation. Traditional uncertainty modeling considers only single-frame information, overlooking the uncertainties across consecutive frames. Our key insight is that uncertainty must be propagated and combined across temporal frames to effectively identify unreliable regions, particularly in dynamic scenes. To address this challenge, we introduce Combined Projected Uncertainty VO (CoProU-VO), a novel end-to-end approach that combines target frame uncertainty with projected reference frame uncertainty using a principled probabilistic formulation. Built upon vision transformer backbones, our model simultaneously learns depth, uncertainty estimation, and camera poses. Consequently, experiments on the KITTI and nuScenes datasets demonstrate significant improvements over previous unsupervised monocular end-to-end two-frame-based methods and exhibit strong performance in challenging highway scenes where other approaches often fail. Additionally, comprehensive ablation studies validate the effectiveness of cross-frame uncertainty propagation.
