Abstract

Inferring camera ego-motion from consecutive images is essential in visual odometry (VO). In this work, we present a jointly unsupervised learning system for monocular VO, consisting of single-view depth, two-view optical flow, and camera-motion estimation module. Our work mitigates the scale drift issue which can further result in a degraded performance in the long-sequence scene. We achieve this by incorporating standard epipolar geometry into the framework. Specifically, we extract correspondences over predicted optical flow and then recover ego-motion. Additionally, we obtain pseudo-ground-truth depth via triangulating 2D-2D pixel matches, which makes the depth scale is closely relevant to the pose. Experimentation on the KITTI driving dataset shows competitive performance compared to established methods.
