• Abstract summary: In this work, a lightweight network is used to extract robust convolutional features and corners with strong invariance. Modifying the typical brightness consistency of the optical flow method to the convolutional feature consistency yields the light-robust hybrid optical flow method. A more accurate visual inertial system is constructed by replacing the optical flow method in VINS-Mono.

• Abstract: Sparse optical flow is widely used in various computer vision tasks, however assuming brightness consistency limits its performance in High Dynamic Range (HDR) environments. In this work, a lightweight network is used to extract illumination robust convolutional features and corners with strong invariance. Modifying the typical brightness consistency of the optical flow method to the convolutional feature consistency yields the light-robust hybrid optical flow method. The proposed network runs at 190 FPS on a commercial CPU because it uses only four convolutional layers to extract feature maps and score maps simultaneously. Since the shallow network is difficult to train directly, a deep network is designed to compute the reliability map that helps it. An end-to-end unsupervised training mode is used for both networks. To validate the proposed method, we compare corner repeatability and matching performance with origin optical flow under dynamic illumination. In addition, a more accurate visual inertial system is constructed by replacing the optical flow method in VINS-Mono. In a public HDR dataset, it reduces translation errors by 93\%.

  Space-time video super-resolution (ST-VSR) simultaneously increases the spatial resolution and frame rate for a given video.
