- 用单目深度模型结合梯度提升修正距离误差,提升远距物体精度。
- 车速慢、车内摄像头时定位误差仅2.83米,树木高度估测误差2.09米。
- 适合城市规划和电力公司做低成本高频次的基础设施风险监测。
本研究提出一种低成本、可复现的端到端框架,利用车载行车记录仪视频实现道路级植被与基础设施的实时对象级结构评估与定位。通过单目深度估计、深度误差校正及几何三角测量,从街景视频流中生成精确的空间与结构数据。首先采用先进单目深度模型生成深度图,再通过梯度提升回归框架校正远距离物体的低估问题,在变换尺度上达到R²=0.92、MAE=0.31,显著降低15米以上距离的偏差。结合GPS三角定位估算物体位置,基于针孔相机模型计算物体高度。在不同摄像头位置与车速条件下评估,低速行驶且使用车内摄像头时精度最高:平均定位误差2.83米,树木高度估计平均绝对误差(MAE)2.09米,电杆为0.88米。据我们所知,这是首个整合单目深度建模、基于GPS的三角定位与实时结构评估的框架,适用于消费级视频数据对城市植被与基础设施进行监测。该方法补充了传统遥感手段(如LiDAR、影像),提供快速、实时、低成本的对象级监测方案,尤其适合需频繁、大规模评估的城市环境中的公用事业公司与城市规划者。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Our study introduces a novel, low-cost, and reproducible framework for real-time, object-level structural assessment and geolocation of roadside vegetation and infrastructure with commonly available but underutilized dashboard camera (dashcam) video data. We developed an end-to-end pipeline that combines monocular depth estimation, depth error correction, and geometric triangulation to generate accurate spatial and structural data from street-level video streams from vehicle-mounted dashcams. Depth maps were first estimated using a state-of-the-art monocular depth model, then refined via a gradient-boosted regression framework to correct underestimations, particularly for distant objects. The depth correction model achieved strong predictive performance (R2 = 0.92, MAE = 0.31 on transformed scale), significantly reducing bias beyond 15 m. Further, object locations were estimated using GPS-based triangulation, while object heights were calculated using pin hole camera geometry. Our method was evaluated under varying conditions of camera placement and vehicle speed. Low-speed vehicle with inside camera gave the highest accuracy, with mean geolocation error of 2.83 m, and mean absolute error (MAE) in height estimation of 2.09 m for trees and 0.88 m for poles. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first framework to combine monocular depth modeling, triangulated GPS-based geolocation, and real-time structural assessment for urban vegetation and infrastructure using consumer-grade video data. Our approach complements conventional RS methods, such as LiDAR and image by offering a fast, real-time, and cost-effective solution for object-level monitoring of vegetation risks and infrastructure exposure, making it especially valuable for utility companies, and urban planners aiming for scalable and frequent assessments in dynamic urban environments.
