• Title: Depth-Aware Multi-Grid Deep Homography Estimation with Contextual Correlation
• Authors: Lang Nie, Chunyu Lin, Kang Liao, Shuaicheng Liu, Yao Zhao
• Abstract summary: Homography estimation is an important task in computer vision, such as image stitching, video stabilization, and camera calibration. Traditional homography estimation methods depend on the quantity and distribution of feature points, leading to poor robustness in textureless scenes. We propose a contextual correlation layer, which can capture the long-range correlation on feature maps and flexibly be bridged in a learning framework. We equip our network with depth perception capability, by introducing a novel depth-aware shape-preserved loss.

• Abstract: Homography estimation is an important task in computer vision, such as image stitching, video stabilization, and camera calibration. Traditional homography estimation methods heavily depend on the quantity and distribution of feature points, leading to poor robustness in textureless scenes. The learning solutions, on the contrary, try to learn robust deep features but demonstrate unsatisfying performance in the scenes of low overlap rates. In this paper, we address the two problems simultaneously, by designing a contextual correlation layer, which can capture the long-range correlation on feature maps and flexibly be bridged in a learning framework. In addition, considering that a single homography can not represent the complex spatial transformation in depth-varying images with parallax, we propose to predict multi-grid homography from global to local. Moreover, we equip our network with depth perception capability, by introducing a novel depth-aware shape-preserved loss. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method over other state-of-the-art solutions in the synthetic benchmark dataset and real-world dataset. The codes and models will be available at https://github.com/nie-lang/Multi-Grid-Deep-Homogarphy.

  This paper presents a novel approach that identifies and integrates dominant cross-modality depth features with a learning-based framework. We propose a novel confidence loss steering a confidence predictor network to yield a confidence map specifying latent potential depth areas. With the resulting confidence map, we propose a multi-modal fusion network that fuses the final depth in an end-to-end manner.

  We aim to estimate temporally consistent depth maps of video streams in an online setting. This is a difficult problem as future frames are not available and the method must choose between enforcing consistency and correcting errors from previous estimations. We propose to address these challenges by using a global point cloud that is dynamically updated each frame, along with a learned fusion approach in image space.

  We propose UDIS++, a parallax-tolerant unsupervised deep image stitching technique.

To further eliminate the parallax artifacts, we propose to composite the stitched image seamlessly by unsupervised learning for seam-driven composition masks.
