Reprojection Loss

Reprojection loss is a crucial metric in computer vision, evaluating the consistency between predicted 3D scene geometry and its 2D projections in images. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of various tasks by minimizing this loss, including scene coordinate regression, neural radiance field (NeRF) rendering, and bundle adjustment for Structure-from-Motion (SfM). This involves developing novel algorithms and model architectures, such as those incorporating feature tracks, line-based representations, and error-guided feature selection, to handle challenges like noisy data, sparse views, and large-scale scenes. Ultimately, reducing reprojection error leads to more accurate 3D scene reconstruction, improved visual localization, and enhanced performance in applications ranging from augmented reality to autonomous navigation.
