• Abstract: One of the key criticisms of deep learning is that large amounts of expensive and difficult-to-acquire training data are required in order to train models with high performance and good generalization capabilities. Focusing on the task of monocular camera pose estimation via scene coordinate regression (SCR), we describe a novel method, Domain Adaptation of Networks for Camera pose Estimation (DANCE), which enables the training of models without access to any labels on the target task. DANCE requires unlabeled images (without known poses, ordering, or scene coordinate labels) and a 3D representation of the space (e.g., a scanned point cloud), both of which can be captured with minimal effort using off-the-shelf commodity hardware. DANCE renders labeled synthetic images from the 3D model, and bridges the inevitable domain gap between synthetic and real images by applying unsupervised image-level domain adaptation techniques (unpaired image-to-image translation). When tested on real images, the SCR model trained with DANCE achieved comparable performance to its fully supervised counterpart (in both cases using PnP-RANSAC for final pose estimation) at a fraction of the cost. Our code and dataset are available at https://github.com/JackLangerman/dance

  We propose a novel 3D-aware GAN optimization technique through contrastive learning with implicit pose embeddings. We make the discriminator estimate a high-dimensional implicit pose embedding from a given image and perform contrastive learning on the pose embedding. The proposed approach can be employed for the dataset, where the canonical camera pose is ill-defined because it does not look up or estimate camera poses.

  We introduce VirtualPose, a two-stage learning framework to exploit the hidden "free lunch" specific to this task. The first stage transforms images to abstract geometry representations (AGR), and then the second maps them to 3D poses. It addresses the generalization issue from two aspects: (1) the first stage can be trained on diverse 2D datasets to reduce the risk of over-fitting to limited appearance; (2) the second stage can be trained on diverse AGR synthesized from a large number of virtual cameras and poses.

  For some applications, such as those in space or deep under water, acquiring real images, even unannotated, is virtually impossible. We propose a method that can be trained solely on synthetic images, or optionally using a few additional real images. It performs on par with methods that require annotated real images for training when not using any, and outperforms them considerably when using as few as twenty real images.

  Visual re-localization means using a single image as input to estimate the camera's location and orientation relative to a pre-recorded environment. Our proposed method makes few special assumptions, and is fairly lightweight in training and testing. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on both standard indoor (7-Scenes) and outdoor (Cambridge Landmarks) camera re-localization benchmarks.
