• Abstract summary: This review focuses on the applications of learning-based monocular approaches in ego-motion perception, environment perception and navigation in autonomous systems. First, we delineate the shortcomings of existing classical visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) solutions, which demonstrate the necessity to integrate deep learning techniques. Second, we review the visual-based environmental perception and understanding methods based on deep learning, including deep learning-based monocular depth estimation. Third, we focus on the visual navigation based on learning systems, mainly including reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning.

• Abstract: Autonomous systems possess the features of inferring their own state, understanding their surroundings, and performing autonomous navigation. With the applications of learning systems, like deep learning and reinforcement learning, the visual-based self-state estimation, environment perception and navigation capabilities of autonomous systems have been efficiently addressed, and many new learning-based algorithms have surfaced with respect to autonomous visual perception and navigation. In this review, we focus on the applications of learning-based monocular approaches in ego-motion perception, environment perception and navigation in autonomous systems, which is different from previous reviews that discussed traditional methods. First, we delineate the shortcomings of existing classical visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) solutions, which demonstrate the necessity to integrate deep learning techniques. Second, we review the visual-based environmental perception and understanding methods based on deep learning, including deep learning-based monocular depth estimation, monocular ego-motion prediction, image enhancement, object detection, semantic segmentation, and their combinations with traditional vSLAM frameworks. Then, we focus on the visual navigation based on learning systems, mainly including reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning. Finally, we examine several challenges and promising directions discussed and concluded in related research of learning systems in the era of computer science and robotics.

  Recent advances in machine learning have enabled autonomous systems to perceive and comprehend objects. It is essential to consider both the explicit teaching provided by humans and the implicit teaching obtained by observing human behavior. We argue for considering both types of inputs, as well as human-in-the-loop and incremental learning techniques.

  We propose a navigational-specific visual representation learning method by contrasting the agent's egocentric views and semantic maps. Ego$2$-Map learning transfers the compact and rich information from a map, such as objects, structure and transition, to the agent's egocentric representations for navigation.

  We present a large-scale empirical study of semantic visual navigation methods comparing methods from classical, modular, and end-to-end learning approaches. We find that modular learning works well in the real world, attaining a 90% success rate. In contrast, end-to-end learning does not, dropping from 77% simulation to 23% real-world success rate due to a large image domain gap between simulation and reality.
