Unsupervised Learning of Depth, Camera Pose and Optical Flow from Monocular Video
share
We propose DFPNet – an unsupervised, joint learning system for monocular Depth, Optical Flow and egomotion (Camera Pose) estimation from monocular image sequences. Due to the nature of 3D scene geometry these three components are coupled. We leverage this fact to jointly train all the three components in an end-to-end manner. A single composite loss function – which involves image reconstruction-based loss for depth optical flow, bidirectional consistency checks and smoothness loss components – is used to train the network. Using hyperparameter tuning, we are able to reduce the model size to less than 5 (8.4M parameters) of state-of-the-art DFP models. Evaluation on KITTI and Cityscapes driving datasets reveals that our model achieves results comparable to state-of-the-art in all of the three tasks, even with the significantly smaller model size.
