• Authors: Shing Yan Loo, Syamsiah Mashohor, Sai Hong Tang, Hong Zhang
• Abstract summary: We propose a dense monocular SLAM system, named DeepFusion, that is capable of recovering a globally consistent 3D structure. We use a visual SLAM to reliably recover the camera poses and semi-dense maps of depth thes, and then use relative depth prediction to densify the semi-dense depth maps and refine the pose-graph. Our system outperforms the state-of-the-art dense SLAM systems quantitatively in dense reconstruction accuracy by a large margin.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a dense monocular SLAM system, named DeepRelativeFusion, that is capable to recover a globally consistent 3D structure. To this end, we use a visual SLAM algorithm to reliably recover the camera poses and semi-dense depth maps of the keyframes, and then use relative depth prediction to densify the semi-dense depth maps and refine the keyframe pose-graph. To improve the semi-dense depth maps, we propose an adaptive filtering scheme, which is a structure-preserving weighted average smoothing filter that takes into account the pixel intensity and depth of the neighbouring pixels, yielding substantial reconstruction accuracy gain in densification. To perform densification, we introduce two incremental improvements upon the energy minimization framework proposed by DeepFusion: (1) an improved cost function, and (2) the use of single-image relative depth prediction. After densification, we update the keyframes with two-view consistent optimized semi-dense and dense depth maps to improve pose-graph optimization, providing a feedback loop to refine the keyframe poses for accurate scene reconstruction. Our system outperforms the state-of-the-art dense SLAM systems quantitatively in dense reconstruction accuracy by a large margin.

  Two-view structure-from-motion (SfM) is the cornerstone of 3D reconstruction and visual SLAM. We propose to revisit the problem of deep two-view SfM by leveraging the well-posedness of the classic pipeline. Our method consists of 1) an optical flow estimation network that predicts dense correspondences between two frames; 2) a normalized pose estimation module that computes relative camera poses from the 2D optical flow correspondences, and 3) a scale-invariant depth estimation network that leverages epipolar geometry to reduce the search space, refine the dense correspondences, and estimate relative depth maps.

  We present an algorithm for estimating consistent dense depth maps and camera poses from a monocular video. Our algorithm combines two complementary techniques: (1) flexible deformation-splines for low-frequency large-scale alignment and (2) geometry-aware depth filtering for high-frequency alignment of fine depth details. In contrast to prior approaches, our method does not require camera poses as input and achieves robust reconstruction for challenging hand-held cell phone captures containing a significant amount of noise, shake, motion blur, and rolling shutter deformations.

• Depth Completion Using a View-constrained Deep Prior [73.21559000917554]
  Recent work has shown that the structure of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) induces a strong prior that favors natural images. This prior, known as a deep image prior (DIP), is an effective regularizer in inverse problems such as image denoising and inpainting. We extend the concept of the DIP to depth images. Given color images and noisy and incomplete target depth maps, we reconstruct a depth map restored by virtue of using the CNN network structure as a prior.
