Abstract

Recently end-to-end unsupervised deep learning methods have achieved an effect beyond geometric methods for visual depth and ego-motion estimation tasks. These data-based learning methods perform more robustly and accurately in some of the challenging scenes. The encoder-decoder network has been widely used in the depth estimation and the RCNN has brought significant improvements in the ego-motion estimation. Furthermore, the latest use of Generative Adversarial Nets(GANs) in depth and ego-motion estimation has demonstrated that the estimation could be further improved by generating pictures in the game learning process. This paper proposes a novel unsupervised network system for visual depth and ego-motion estimation: Stacked Generative Adversarial Network(SGANVO). It consists of a stack of GAN layers, of which the lowest layer estimates the depth and ego-motion while the higher layers estimate the spatial features. It can also capture the temporal dynamic due to the use of a recurrent representation across the layers. See Fig.1 for details. We select the most commonly used KITTI [1] data set for evaluation. The evaluation results show that our proposed method can produce better or comparable results in depth and ego-motion estimation.
