通过双轴变换构建视角不变表征,提升跨视角位姿估计精度

VIRD: View-Invariant Representation through Dual-Axis Transformation for Cross-View Pose Estimation

  • 用极坐标变换卫星图,对齐水平视角差异
  • 结合上下文注意力缓解垂直错位,显著降低误差
  • 适合自动驾驶与机器人定位,尤其无方向先验场景

精确的全局定位对自动驾驶和机器人至关重要,但基于GNSS的方法常因遮挡和多径效应失效。作为新兴替代方案,跨视角位姿估计旨在根据地景图像预测其相对于地理参考卫星图像的3-DoF相机位姿。然而,现有方法难以弥合地景与卫星视角间的巨大差距,主要受限于有限的空间对应关系。本文提出一种新方法VIRD(View-Invariant Representation through Dual-Axis Transformation),通过双轴变换构建视角不变表征:首先对卫星图像施加极坐标变换以促进水平对应,再在地景与极坐标变换后的卫星特征上使用上下文增强的位置注意力机制,显式缓解垂直错位。为进一步强化视角不变性,引入视图重建损失,使学习到的表征能重构原始及跨视角图像。在KITTI和VIGOR数据集上的实验表明,VIRD在无需方向先验的情况下超越现有最优方法,在KITTI上将中位位置误差和方向误差分别降低50.7%和76.5%,在VIGOR上分别降低18.0%和46.8%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate global localization is critical for autonomous driving and robotics, but GNSS-based approaches often degrade due to occlusion and multipath effects. As an emerging alternative, cross-view pose estimation predicts the 3-DoF camera pose corresponding to a ground-view image with respect to a geo-referenced satellite image. However, existing methods struggle to bridge the significant viewpoint gap between the ground and satellite views mainly due to limited spatial correspondences. We propose a novel cross-view pose estimation method that constructs view-invariant representations through dual-axis transformation (VIRD). VIRD first applies a polar transformation to the satellite view to facilitate horizontal correspondence, then uses context-enhanced positional attention on the ground and polar-transformed satellite features to mitigate vertical misalignment, explicitly bridging the viewpoint gap. To further strengthen view invariance, we introduce a view-reconstruction loss that encourages the derived representations to reconstruct the original and cross-view images. Experiments on the KITTI and VIGOR datasets demonstrate that VIRD outperforms the state-of-the-art methods without orientation priors, reducing median position and orientation errors by 50.7% and 76.5% on KITTI, and 18.0% and 46.8% on VIGOR, respectively.
