Self-Mono-SF: Self-Supervised Monocular Scene Flow Estimation

June 2020

tl;dr: Self supervised estimation of depth and 3D scene flow (and as a side product, 2D optical flow).

Overall impression

Scene flow estimation is the 3D version of optical flow. It requires depth estimation as well. It is a natural idea to extend the monocular prediction of optical flow and depth to scene flow.

Optical flow is the 2D projection of a 3D point and its 3D scene flow. The scene flow is defined as 3D motion wrt the camera.

The architecture is heavily based on PWC Net for optical flow estimation.
