• Authors: Jan Czarnowski, Tristan Laidlow, Ronald Clark and Andrew J. Davison
• Abstract summary: We present a SLAM system that unifies methods in a probabilistic framework while still maintaining real-time performance. This is achieved through the use of a learned compact depth map representation and reformulating three different types of errors. We evaluate our system on trajectory estimation and depth reconstruction on real-world sequences and present various examples of estimated dense geometry.

• Abstract: The ability to estimate rich geometry and camera motion from monocular imagery is fundamental to future interactive robotics and augmented reality applications. Different approaches have been proposed that vary in scene geometry representation (sparse landmarks, dense maps), the consistency metric used for optimising the multi-view problem, and the use of learned priors. We present a SLAM system that unifies these methods in a probabilistic framework while still maintaining real-time performance. This is achieved through the use of a learned compact depth map representation and reformulating three different types of errors: photometric, reprojection and geometric, which we make use of within standard factor graph software. We evaluate our system on trajectory estimation and depth reconstruction on real-world sequences and present various examples of estimated dense geometry.

  We investigate a new computational approach that builds on a novel shape representation that is volumetric. The shape energy associated to this representation evaluates 3D geometry given color images and does not need appearance prediction. In practice we propose an implicit shape representation, the SRDF, based on signed distances which we parameterize by depths along camera rays.

  3D object detection is an important capability needed in various practical applications such as driver assistance systems. Monocular 3D detection, as an economical solution compared to conventional settings relying on binocular vision or LiDAR, has drawn increasing attention recently but still yields unsatisfactory results. This paper first presents a systematic study on this problem and observes that the current monocular 3D detection problem can be simplified as an instance depth estimation problem.
