• Title: From a Bird's Eye View to See: Joint Camera and Subject Registration without the Camera Calibration
• Authors: Zekun Qian, Ruize Han, Wei Feng, Feifan Wang, Song Wang,
• Abstract summary: We tackle a new problem of multi-view camera and subject registration in the bird's eye view (BEV) without pre-given camera calibration. This is a very challenging problem since its only input is several RGB images from different first-person views (FPVs) for a multi-person scene. We propose an end-to-end framework solving this problem, whose main idea can be divided into following parts.

• Abstract: We tackle a new problem of multi-view camera and subject registration in the bird's eye view (BEV) without pre-given camera calibration. This is a very challenging problem since its only input is several RGB images from different first-person views (FPVs) for a multi-person scene, without the BEV image and the calibration of the FPVs, while the output is a unified plane with the localization and orientation of both the subjects and cameras in a BEV. We propose an end-to-end framework solving this problem, whose main idea can be divided into following parts: i) creating a view-transform subject detection module to transform the FPV to a virtual BEV including localization and orientation of each pedestrian, ii) deriving a geometric transformation based method to estimate camera localization and view direction, i.e., the camera registration in a unified BEV, iii) making use of spatial and appearance information to aggregate the subjects into the unified BEV. We collect a new large-scale synthetic dataset with rich annotations for evaluation. The experimental results show the remarkable effectiveness of our proposed method.

  Camera-only Bird's Eye View (BEV) has demonstrated great potential in environment perception in a 3D space. Unsupervised domain adaptive BEV, which effective learning from various unlabelled target data, is far under-explored. We design DA-BEV, the first domain adaptive camera-only BEV framework that addresses domain adaptive BEV challenges by exploiting the complementary nature of image-view features and BEV features.

  It is essential to produce perception outputs in 3D to enable the spatial reasoning of other agents and structures. The most basic approach to achieving the desired BEV representation from a camera image is IPM, assuming a flat ground surface. More recent approaches use deep neural networks to output directly in BEV space.

  Learning powerful representations in bird's-eye-view (BEV) for perception tasks is trending and drawing extensive attention both from industry and academia. As sensor configurations get more complex, integrating multi-source information from different sensors and representing features in a unified view come of vital importance. The core problems for BEV perception lie in (a) how to reconstruct the lost 3D information via view transformation from perspective view to BEV; (b) how to acquire ground truth annotations in BEV grid; and (d) how to adapt and generalize algorithms as sensor configurations vary across different scenarios.
