DMHomo: Learning Homography with Diffusion Models

Abstract

Supervised homography estimation methods face a challenge due to the lack of adequate labeled training data. To address this issue, we propose DMHomo , a diffusion model-based framework for supervised homography learning. This framework generates image pairs with accurate labels, realistic image content, and realistic interval motion, ensuring that they satisfy adequate pairs. We utilize unlabeled image pairs with pseudo labels such as homography and dominant plane masks, computed from existing methods, to train a diffusion model that generates a supervised training dataset. To further enhance performance, we introduce a new probabilistic mask loss, which identifies outlier regions through supervised training, and an iterative mechanism to optimize the generative and homography models successively. Our experimental results demonstrate that DMHomo effectively overcomes the scarcity of qualified datasets in supervised homography learning and improves generalization to real-world scenes. The code and dataset are available at GitHub ( https://github.com/lhaippp/DMHomo ).
