• Authors: Shun Taguchi and Noriaki Hirose
• Abstract summary: We present an unsupervised simultaneous learning framework for the task of monocular camera re-localization and depth estimation from unlabeled video sequences. In our framework, we train two networks that estimate the scene coordinates using directions and the depth map from each image which are then combined to estimate the camera pose. Our method also outperforms state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation in a trained environment.

• Abstract: We present an unsupervised simultaneous learning framework for the task of monocular camera re-localization and depth estimation from unlabeled video sequences. Monocular camera re-localization refers to the task of estimating the absolute camera pose from an instance image in a known environment, which has been intensively studied for alternative localization in GPS-denied environments. In recent works, camera re-localization methods are trained via supervised learning from pairs of camera images and camera poses. In contrast to previous works, we propose a completely unsupervised learning framework for camera re-localization and depth estimation, requiring only monocular video sequences for training. In our framework, we train two networks that estimate the scene coordinates using directions and the depth map from each image which are then combined to estimate the camera pose. The networks can be trained through the minimization of loss functions based on our loop closed view synthesis. In experiments with the 7-scenes dataset, the proposed method outperformed the re-localization of the state-of-the-art visual SLAM, ORB-SLAM3. Our method also outperforms state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation in a trained environment.

  Reconstruction of 3D neural fields from posed images has emerged as a promising method for self-supervised representation learning. Key challenge preventing the deployment of these 3D scene learners on large-scale video data is their dependence on precise camera poses from structure-from-motion. We propose a method that jointly reconstructs camera poses and 3D neural scene representations online and in a single forward pass.

  Visual (re)localization addresses the problem of estimating the 6-DoF camera pose of a query image captured in a known scene. Recent advances in structure-based localization solve this problem by memorizing the mapping from image pixels to scene coordinates. We propose a scene region classification approach to achieve fast and effective scene memorization with few-shot images.
