DGSfM: Depth-Guided Scale-Aware Global Structure-from-Motion
Sithu Aung, Viktor Kocur, Yaqing Ding +2
Global Structure-from-Motion (SfM) is an efficient paradigm for recovering camera poses and sparse 3D structure from unordered images. However, its reliance on scale-ambiguous epip…
Depth2Pose: A Pose-Based Benchmark for Monocular Depth Estimation without Ground-Truth Depth
Viktor Kocur, Sithu Aung, Gabrielle Flood +4
Monocular depth estimation has improved significantly in recent years, driven by increasingly powerful models and large-scale training data. Predicted depth is increasingly used as…
Are Minimal Radial Distortion Solvers Necessary for Relative Pose Estimation?
Charalambos Tzamos, Viktor Kocur, Yaqing Ding +2
Estimating the relative pose between two cameras is a fundamental step in many applications such as Structure-from-Motion. The common approach to relative pose estimation is to app…
NerfBaselines: Consistent and Reproducible Evaluation of Novel View Synthesis Methods
Jonas Kulhanek, Torsten Sattler
Novel view synthesis is an important problem with many applications, including AR/VR, gaming, and robotic simulations. With the recent rapid development of Neural Radiance Fields (…
Are Minimal Radial Distortion Solvers Really Necessary for Relative Pose Estimation?
Viktor Kocur, Charalambos Tzamos, Yaqing Ding +3
Estimating the relative pose between two cameras is a fundamental step in many applications such as Structure-from-Motion. The common approach to relative pose estimation is to app…
A Guide to Structureless Visual Localization
Vojtech Panek, Qunjie Zhou, Yaqing Ding +4
Visual localization algorithms, i.e., methods that estimate the camera pose of a query image in a known scene, are core components of many applications, including self-driving cars…
