用生成模型自建带精确运动标注的数据,无需人工标注就能学出高质量光流。
GenOpticalFlow: A Generative Approach to Unsupervised Optical Flow Learning
- 用预训练深度模型生成伪光流,驱动图像生成器合成对齐的帧间数据。
- 在KITTI和Sintel上优于现有无监督方法,关键像素过滤提升真实场景表现。
- 适合做无标注光流学习、数据增强或自动驾驶中的运动估计任务。
光流估计是计算机视觉基础问题,但依赖昂贵真值标注限制了监督方法的可扩展性。尽管无监督和半监督方法缓解了这一问题,却常因亮度恒定和平滑性假设导致监督信号不可靠,复杂场景下运动估计不准。为此,我们提出 extbf{ extit{GenOpticalFlow}},一种新框架:利用预训练深度网络生成伪光流,作为条件输入驱动下一帧生成模型,合成大量精确对齐的帧-光流数据对,用于监督训练。该过程可生成海量高质量合成数据。此外,我们提出不一致像素过滤策略,识别并剔除生成帧中不可靠像素,显著提升在真实数据集上的微调性能。在KITTI2012、KITTI2015和Sintel上的实验表明, extbf{ extit{GenOpticalFlow}}性能达到或超过现有无监督与半监督方法,展现出可扩展、免标注的光流学习潜力。代码将在接受后公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Optical flow estimation is a fundamental problem in computer vision, yet the reliance on expensive ground-truth annotations limits the scalability of supervised approaches. Although unsupervised and semi-supervised methods alleviate this issue, they often suffer from unreliable supervision signals based on brightness constancy and smoothness assumptions, leading to inaccurate motion estimation in complex real-world scenarios. To overcome these limitations, we introduce \textbf{\modelname}, a novel framework that synthesizes large-scale, perfectly aligned frame--flow data pairs for supervised optical flow training without human annotations. Specifically, our method leverages a pre-trained depth estimation network to generate pseudo optical flows, which serve as conditioning inputs for a next-frame generation model trained to produce high-fidelity, pixel-aligned subsequent frames. This process enables the creation of abundant, high-quality synthetic data with precise motion correspondence. Furthermore, we propose an \textit{inconsistent pixel filtering} strategy that identifies and removes unreliable pixels in generated frames, effectively enhancing fine-tuning performance on real-world datasets. Extensive experiments on KITTI2012, KITTI2015, and Sintel demonstrate that \textbf{\modelname} achieves competitive or superior results compared to existing unsupervised and semi-supervised approaches, highlighting its potential as a scalable and annotation-free solution for optical flow learning. We will release our code upon acceptance.
