• Authors: Luca Ferranti, Xiaotian Li, Jani Boutellier, Juho Kannala
• Abstract summary: We aim at quantifying how reliable the visually estimated pose is. We also show that the proposed techniques can be used to accomplish a secondary goal: improving the accuracy of existing pose estimation pipelines. The proposed approach is computationally light-weight and adds only a negligible increase to the computational effort of pose estimation.

• Abstract: Camera pose estimation in large-scale environments is still an open question and, despite recent promising results, it may still fail in some situations. The research so far has focused on improving subcomponents of estimation pipelines, to achieve more accurate poses. However, there is no guarantee for the result to be correct, even though the correctness of pose estimation is critically important in several visual localization applications,such as in autonomous navigation. In this paper we bring to attention a novel research question, pose confidence estimation,where we aim at quantifying how reliable the visually estimated pose is. We develop a novel confidence measure to fulfil this task and show that it can be flexibly applied to different datasets,indoor or outdoor, and for various visual localization pipelines.We also show that the proposed techniques can be used to accomplish a secondary goal: improving the accuracy of existing pose estimation pipelines. Finally, the proposed approach is computationally light-weight and adds only a negligible increase to the computational effort of pose estimation.

  State-of-the-art 6D object pose estimators directly predict an object pose given an object observation. We reformulate the state-of-the-art algorithm GDRNPP and introduce EPRO-GDR. Our solution shows that predicting a pose distribution instead of a single pose can improve state-of-the-art single-view pose estimation.

  Current approaches approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses. We present a Deep Voxel Matching Network (DVMNet) that eliminates the need for pose hypotheses and computes the relative object pose in a single pass. Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  Recent advances in deep learning and computer vision offer an excellent opportunity to investigate high-level visual analysis tasks. Human localization and human pose estimation has significantly improved in recent reports, but they are not perfect and erroneous localization and pose estimation can be expected among video frames. We explored and developed two working pipelines that suited the visual-based positioning and pose estimation tasks.

  While depth- and RGB-based pose refinement approaches increase the accuracy of the resulting pose estimates, they are susceptible to ambiguity as they consider visual alignment. We show that considering plausibility reduces ambiguity and, in consequence, allows poses to be more accurately predicted in cluttered environments. Experiments on the LINEMOD and YCB-VIDEO datasets demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our depth-based refinement approach.

• A New Distributional Ranking Loss With Uncertainty: Illustrated in Relative Depth Estimation [0.0]
  We propose a new approach for the problem of relative depth estimation from a single image. Instead of directly regressing over depth scores, we formulate the problem as estimation of a probability distribution over depth. To train our model, we propose a new ranking loss, Distributional Loss, which tries to increase the probability of farther pixel's depth being greater than the closer pixel's depth.
