AbHE: All Attention-based Homography Estimation
share
Homography estimation is a basic computer vision task, which aims to obtain the transformation from multi-view images for image alignment. Unsupervised learning homography estimation trains a convolution neural network for feature extraction and transformation matrix regression. While the state-of-theart homography method is based on convolution neural networks, few work focuses on transformer which shows superiority in highlevel vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a strong-baseline model based on the Swin Transformer, which combines convolution neural network for local features and transformer module for global features. Moreover, a cross non-local layer is introduced to search the matched features within the feature maps coarsely. In the homography regression stage, we adopt an attention layer for the channels of correlation volume, which can drop out some weak correlation feature points. The experiment shows that in 8 Degree-of-Freedoms(DOFs) homography estimation our method overperforms the state-of-the-art method.
