• Title: Fixing the Scale and Shift in Monocular Depth For Camera Pose Estimation

• Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework for estimating the relative pose between two cameras from point correspondences with associated monocular depths. We derive efficient solvers for three cases: (1) two calibrated cameras, (2) two uncalibrated cameras with an unknown but shared focal length, and (3) two uncalibrated cameras with unknown and different focal lengths. Compared to prior work, our solvers achieve state-of-the-art results on two large-scale, real-world datasets.

• Abstract: Recent advances in monocular depth prediction have led to significantly improved depth prediction accuracy. In turn, this enables various applications to use such depth predictions. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for estimating the relative pose between two cameras from point correspondences with associated monocular depths. Since depth predictions are typically defined up to an unknown scale and shift parameter, our solvers jointly estimate both scale and shift parameters together with the camera pose. We derive efficient solvers for three cases: (1) two calibrated cameras, (2) two uncalibrated cameras with an unknown but shared focal length, and (3) two uncalibrated cameras with unknown and different focal lengths. Experiments on synthetic and real data, including experiments with depth maps estimated by 11 different depth predictors, show the practical viability of our solvers. Compared to prior work, our solvers achieve state-of-the-art results on two large-scale, real-world datasets. The source code is available at https://github.com/yaqding/pose_monodepth

  We propose a two-stage framework that first predicts depth up to an unknown scale and shift from a single monocular image. We then exploits 3D point cloud data to predict the depth shift and the camera's focal length that allow us to recover 3D scene shapes. We test our depth model on nine unseen datasets and achieve state-of-the-art performance on zero-shot evaluation.

• Robust Consistent Video Depth Estimation [65.53308117778361]
  We present an algorithm for estimating consistent dense depth maps and camera poses from a monocular video. Our algorithm combines two complementary techniques: (1) flexible deformation-splines for low-frequency large-scale alignment and (2) geometry-aware depth filtering for high-frequency alignment of fine depth details. In contrast to prior approaches, our method does not require camera poses as input and achieves robust reconstruction for challenging hand-held cell phone captures containing a significant amount of noise, shake, motion blur, and rolling shutter deformations.
