We propose Stereo Direct Sparse Odometry (Stereo DSO) as a novel method for highly accurate real-time visual odometry estimation of large-scale environments from stereo cameras. It jointly optimizes for all the model parameters within the active window, including the intrinsic/extrinsic camera parameters of all keyframes and the depth values of all selected pixels. In particular, we propose a novel...
This paper tackles the photometric stereo problem in the presence of inaccurate lighting, obtained either by calibration or by an uncalibrated photometric stereo method. Based on a precise modeling of noise and outliers, a robust variational approach is introduced. It explicitly accounts for self-shadows, and enforces robustness to cast-shadows and specularities by resorting to redescending M-estimators...
In this paper we propose an efficient solution to jointly estimate the camera motion and a piecewise-rigid scene flow from an RGB-D sequence. The key idea is to perform a two-fold segmentation of the scene, dividing it into geometric clusters that are, in turn, classified as static or moving elements. Representing the dynamic scene as a set of rigid clusters drastically accelerates the motion estimation,...
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for robustly fusing digital surface models (DSMs) with different ground sampling distances and confidences, using explicit surface priors to obtain locally smooth surface models. Robust fusion of the DSMs is achieved by minimizing the L1-distance of each pixel of the solution to each input DSM. This approach is similar to a pixel-wise median, and most outliers...
This paper presents a fast algorithm for high-accuracy large-scale outdoor dense stereo reconstruction of man-made environments. To this end, we propose a structure-adaptive second-order Total Generalized Variation (TGV) regularization which facilitates the emergence of planar structures by enhancing the discontinuities along building facades. As data term we use cost functions which are robust to...
The goal of our work is to provide a fast and accurate method to estimate the camera motion from RGB-D images. Our approach registers two consecutive RGB-D frames directly upon each other by minimizing the photometric error. We estimate the camera motion using non-linear minimization in combination with a coarse-to-fine scheme. To allow for noise and outliers in the image data, we propose to use a...
