• Abstract summary: Self-Supervised Surround Depth Estimation from consecutive images offers an economical alternative. Previous SSSDE methods have proposed different mechanisms to fuse information across images, but few of them explicitly consider the cross-view constraints. This paper proposes an efficient and consistent pose estimation design and two loss functions to enhance cross-view consistency for SSSDE.

• Abstract: Depth estimation is a cornerstone for autonomous driving, yet acquiring per-pixel depth ground truth for supervised learning is challenging. Self-Supervised Surround Depth Estimation (SSSDE) from consecutive images offers an economical alternative. While previous SSSDE methods have proposed different mechanisms to fuse information across images, few of them explicitly consider the cross-view constraints, leading to inferior performance, particularly in overlapping regions. This paper proposes an efficient and consistent pose estimation design and two loss functions to enhance cross-view consistency for SSSDE. For pose estimation, we propose to use only front-view images to reduce training memory and sustain pose estimation consistency. The first loss function is the dense depth consistency loss, which penalizes the difference between predicted depths in overlapping regions. The second one is the multi-view reconstruction consistency loss, which aims to maintain consistency between reconstruction from spatial and spatial-temporal contexts. Additionally, we introduce a novel flipping augmentation to improve the performance further. Our techniques enable a simple neural model to achieve state-of-the-art performance on the DDAD and nuScenes datasets. Last but not least, our proposed techniques can be easily applied to other methods. The code will be made public.

  Deep learning has been widely used for solving image reconstruction tasks but its deployability has been held back due to the shortage of high-quality training data. We present a novel approach to tackle these issues by restricting DIP optimisation to a sparse linear subspace of its parameters. The low-dimensionality of the subspace reduces DIP's tendency to fit noise and allows the use of stable second order optimisation methods.
