CNN-SLAM: Real-time dense monocular SLAM with learned depth prediction
Given the recent advances in depth prediction from Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs), this paper investigates how predicted depth maps from a deep
neural network can be deployed for accurate and dense monocular reconstruction.
We propose a method where CNN-predicted dense depth maps are naturally fused
together with depth measurements obtained from direct monocular SLAM. Our
fusion scheme privileges depth prediction in image locations where monocular
SLAM approaches tend to fail, e.g. along low-textured regions, and vice-versa.
We demonstrate the use of depth prediction for estimating the absolute scale of
the reconstruction, hence overcoming one of the major limitations of monocular
SLAM. Finally, we propose a framework to efficiently fuse semantic labels,
obtained from a single frame, with dense SLAM, yielding semantically coherent
scene reconstruction from a single view. Evaluation results on two benchmark
datasets show the robustness and accuracy of our approach.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer
