• Title: Renormalization for Initialization of Rolling Shutter Visual-Inertial Odometry
• Authors: Branislav Micusik, Georgios Evangelidis
• Abstract summary: Initialization is a prerequisite for using inertial signals and fusing them with visual data. We propose a novel statistical solution to the problem on visual and inertial data simultaneously, by casting it into the renormalization scheme of Kanatani. Extensive evaluations on ground truth exhibit superior performance and a gain in accuracy of up to $20%$ over the originally proposed Least Squares solution.

• Abstract: In this paper we deal with the initialization problem of a visual-inertial odometry system with rolling shutter cameras. Initialization is a prerequisite for using inertial signals and fusing them with visual data. We propose a novel statistical solution to the initialization problem on visual and inertial data simultaneously, by casting it into the renormalization scheme of Kanatani. The renormalization is an optimization scheme which intends to reduce the inherent statistical bias of common linear systems. We derive and present the necessary steps and methodology specific to the initialization problem. Extensive evaluations on ground truth exhibit superior performance and a gain in accuracy of up to $20\%$ over the originally proposed Least Squares solution. The renormalization performs similarly to the optimal Maximum Likelihood estimate, despite arriving at the solution by different means. With this paper we are adding to the set of Computer Vision problems which can be cast into the renormalization scheme.

  Neuromorphic event-based cameras place great demands on approaches that use raw event data as input to solve this fundamental problem. Existing state-of-the-art solutions typically infer implicitly data association by iteratively reversing the event data generation process. We show that the event-based normal flow can be used, via the proposed geometric error term, as an alternative to the full flow in solving a family of geometric problems.

  We develop a prescriptive dimensionality reduction framework that aims to minimize the degree of suboptimality in the optimization phase. For the case where the downstream optimization problem has an expected value objective, we show that prescriptive dimensionality reduction can be performed via solving a distributionally-robust optimization problem. Our approach significantly outperforms principal component analysis with real and synthetic data sets.

  We introduce a general framework for designing and training neural network layers whose forward passes can be interpreted as solving non-smooth convex optimization problems. We focus on convex games, solved by local agents represented by the nodes of a graph and interacting through regularization functions. This approach is appealing for solving imaging problems, as it allows the use of classical image priors within deep models that are trainable end to end.
