Reducing Drift in Structure From Motion Using Extended Features (Conference Talk)

Project Page: https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~holy... Abstract: Low-frequency long-range errors (drift) are an endemic problem in 3D structure from motion, and can often hamper reasonable reconstructions of the scene. In this paper, we present a method to dramatically reduce scale and positional drift by using extended structural features such as planes and vanishing points. Unlike traditional feature matches, our extended features are able to span nonoverlapping input images, and hence provide long-range constraints on the scale and shape of the reconstruction. We add these features as additional constraints to a state-of-the-art global structure from motion algorithm and demonstrate that the added constraints enable the reconstruction of particularly drift-prone sequences such as long, low field-of-view videos without inertial measurements. Additionally, we provide an analysis of the drift-reducing capabilities of these constraints by evaluating on a synthetic dataset. Our structural features are able to significantly reduce drift for scenes that contain long-spanning man-made structures, such as aligned rows of windows or planar building facades.
