Abstract

Video Odometry (VO) is the process of estimating the ego-motion of an object by analyzing visual information such as a sequence of frames from one or multiple cameras. It has been a popular research topic in computer vision and robotics, and its applications include mobile robotic systems as well as autonomous driving. In this project, we investigate existing end-to-end deep-learning approaches to VO, and propose a novel temporal attention-based model to improve upon the baseline. In addition, while the vast majority of existing deep-learning-based approaches to VO are trained on driving data, we investigate the performance of deep-learning-based VO to the more dynamic and complex problem of hand-held cameras.
