Deep Monocular Visual Odometry for Ground Vehicle

Monocular visual odometry, with the ability to help robots to locate themselves in unexplored environments, has been a crucial research problem in robotics. Though the existed learning-based endto-end methods can reduce engineering efforts such as accurate camera calibration and tedious case-by-case parameter tuning, the accuracy is still limited. One of the main reasons is that previous works aim to learn sixdegrees-of-freedom motions despite the constrained motion of a ground vehicle by its mechanical structure and dynamics. To push the limit, we analyze the motion pattern of a ground vehicle and focus on learning two-degrees-of-freedom motions by proposed motion focusing and decoupling. The experiments on KITTI dataset show that the proposed motion focusing and decoupling approach can improve the visual odometry performance by reducing the relative pose error. Moreover, with the dimension reduction of the learning objective, our network is much lighter with only four convolution layers, which can quickly converge during the training stage and run in real-time at over 200 frames per second during the testing stage.
