A self-supervised framework for camera self-calibration leverages unified camera models and raw video data to achieve sub-pixel reprojection error, demonstrating robust online re-calibration and state-of-the-art depth estimation on the EuRoC dataset.

Key insights

  • The view-synthesis objective used in self-supervised depth and ego-motion estimation can effectively guide the learning of explicit, interpretable camera intrinsic parameters.
  • Unified Camera Models offer a balance of generality and computational efficiency, enabling self-calibration for diverse camera types (pinhole, fisheye, catadioptric) in a differentiable manner.
  • Learning a single set of intrinsic parameters per video sequence, rather than independently for each frame, significantly improves calibration stability and accuracy.
