用校准标记让单目深度模型适配鱼眼相机,无需重新训练。
Extending Foundational Monocular Depth Estimators to Fisheye Cameras with Calibration Tokens
- 引入校准标记调节隐空间特征,对齐鱼眼与透视图像分布。
- 在室内外场景中均超越现有方法,单组标记通用。
- 自监督训练,仅需透视图像数据,不依赖鱼眼图像标注。
我们提出一种方法,将基于透视图像训练的单目深度估计基础模型(FMDE)扩展至鱼眼相机。尽管这些模型在数千万张图像上训练,但相机内参和畸变参数的变化会引发协变量偏移,导致深度估计错误。本文通过将鱼眼图像的隐空间嵌入分布对齐到透视图像,实现无需重训练或微调即可复用现有模型。为此,我们引入轻量级校准标记机制,调节隐空间特征以实现对齐。该方法利用现有模型强大的隐空间表达能力,避免了传统校准或投影至标准参考帧时引入的伪影和信息损失。方法为自监督学习,不需鱼眼图像,而是通过将公开的透视图像重校准为鱼眼图像,并在训练中强制两者估计一致性来实现。我们在多个FMDE模型及室内外场景上评估,均取得优于当前最优方法的结果,且仅用一组校准标记即可跨场景通用。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We propose a method to extend foundational monocular depth estimators (FMDEs), trained on perspective images, to fisheye images. Despite being trained on tens of millions of images, FMDEs are susceptible to the covariate shift introduced by changes in camera calibration (intrinsic, distortion) parameters, leading to erroneous depth estimates. Our method aligns the distribution of latent embeddings encoding fisheye images to those of perspective images, enabling the reuse of FMDEs for fisheye cameras without retraining or finetuning. To this end, we introduce a set of Calibration Tokens as a light-weight adaptation mechanism that modulates the latent embeddings for alignment. By exploiting the already expressive latent space of FMDEs, we posit that modulating their embeddings avoids the negative impact of artifacts and loss introduced in conventional recalibration or map projection to a canonical reference frame in the image space. Our method is self-supervised and does not require fisheye images but leverages publicly available large-scale perspective image datasets. This is done by recalibrating perspective images to fisheye images, and enforcing consistency between their estimates during training. We evaluate our approach with several FMDEs, on both indoors and outdoors, where we consistently improve over state-of-the-art methods using a single set of tokens for both.
