  • 设计稀疏对极匹配框架,仅保留几何一致的少量关键点
  • 通过对应点扩散过程减少噪声,提升对极一致性
  • 结合图神经网络筛选有效对应点,适合复杂动态场景

从图像对中估计相对位姿通常只需少量几何一致的对应关系。然而,多数学习方法依赖密集匹配或直接回归,导致冗余且几何可解释性差。本文提出一种稀疏对极匹配框架,预测一组紧凑的对应点,优化其在不同时间基线下的几何一致性。为处理残余噪声和错位,引入对极扩散过程,建模对应点不确定性并将其精修至对极线上。经精修的对应点与深度线索共同构建图结构,形成编码点间关系的斯坦纳图。图神经网络学习一个信息量丰富的对应点子集,送入可微奇异值分解求解器,实现端到端几何估计。相对位姿由所得本质矩阵恢复,并在TartanAir和KITTI SLAM数据集上评估。实验表明,结合稀疏匹配、基于扩散的精修与图式子集选择,能显著降低对应冗余,同时保持在挑战性时间基线下的鲁棒位姿估计性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Estimating relative pose from image pairs fundamentally requires only a minimal subset of geometrically consistent correspondences. However, most learning-based approaches rely on dense matching or direct regression, leading to redundancy and reduced geometric interpretability. In this work, we propose a sparse epipolar matching framework that predicts a compact set of correspondences optimized for geometric consistency across varying temporal baselines. To address residual noise and misalignment, we introduce an epipolar diffusion process that models correspondence uncertainty and refines keypoints toward epipolar consistency. The refined correspondences, along with depth cues, are lifted into a graph representation forming a Steiner graph that encodes relational structure between points. A graph neural network learns a compact subset of informative correspondences, which are passed to a differentiable singular value decomposition solver for end-to-end geometric estimation. Relative pose is recovered from the resulting essential matrix and evaluated in a visual odometry setting on the TartanAir and KITTI SLAM datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that combining sparse matching, diffusion-based refinement, and graph-based subset selection reduces correspondence redundancy while maintaining robust pose estimation across challenging baselines.
