Improving photometric quality of SLAM

Abstract

We offer a Master Thesis in the topic of 3D computer vision and deep learning, in particular on real-time 3D reconstruction from a sequence of frames. Existing SLAM approaches rely on different fusion methods to integrate sensor data from different view angles in order to reconstruct a scene. For example, KinectFusion?[1] uses running average on TSDF[3] and RGB values on each voxel. Alternative fusion methods were proposed [2]. These methods reconstruct the geometry accurately, nevertheless the reconstructed texture is usually blurry and and missing fine details (See Figure1).

In this project, we aim to develop a novel approach that is able to reconstruct a more photorealistic scene in real-time. We are looking for a motivated student with prior experience in deep learning and computer vision, and good knowledge of Python and C++. The project will be carried out in cooperation with Google Zurich.

Requirements

  • Prior experience (theoretical and practical) of computer vision and deep learning.
  • Knowledge of SLAM methods.
  • Good knowledge of Pytorch
  • Good coding skills in python and C++

Title: Improving photometric quality of SLAM
Abstract: Existing incremental scene reconstruction approaches rely on different fusion methods to integrate sensor data from different view angles in order to reconstruct a scene. For example, KinectFusion?[1] uses running average on TSDF[3] and RGB values on each voxel. Similar aggremetion methods are also used in other works[2]. Accurate geometry is possible to be reconstructed by using this approach. However, the reconstructed texture is usually blurry and is less realistic (See Figure1).
