CorrAdaptor: Adaptive Local Context Learning for Correspondence Pruning
This addresses the need for accurate correspondences in tasks like structure-from-motion and SLAM, representing an incremental improvement over existing methods.
The paper tackles the problem of robust pixel-level correspondence pruning in computer vision and robotics by proposing CorrAdaptor, an architecture with a dual-branch structure for adaptive local context learning and a motion injection module, achieving state-of-the-art performance on extensive tasks.
In the fields of computer vision and robotics, accurate pixel-level correspondences are essential for enabling advanced tasks such as structure-from-motion and simultaneous localization and mapping. Recent correspondence pruning methods usually focus on learning local consistency through k-nearest neighbors, which makes it difficult to capture robust context for each correspondence. We propose CorrAdaptor, a novel architecture that introduces a dual-branch structure capable of adaptively adjusting local contexts through both explicit and implicit local graph learning. Specifically, the explicit branch uses KNN-based graphs tailored for initial neighborhood identification, while the implicit branch leverages a learnable matrix to softly assign neighbors and adaptively expand the local context scope, significantly enhancing the model's robustness and adaptability to complex image variations. Moreover, we design a motion injection module to integrate motion consistency into the network to suppress the impact of outliers and refine local context learning, resulting in substantial performance improvements. The experimental results on extensive correspondence-based tasks indicate that our CorrAdaptor achieves state-of-the-art performance both qualitatively and quantitatively.
