Self-supervised depth estimation draws a lot of attention recently as it can promote the 3D sensing capabilities of self-driving vehicles.
However, it intrinsically relies upon the photometric consistency assumption, which hardly holds during nighttime.
... propose the first method that jointly learns a nighttime image enhancer and a depth estimator, without using ground truth for either task.
... method tightly entangles two self-supervised tasks using a newly proposed uncertain pixel masking strategy.
This strategy originates from the observation that nighttime images not only suffer from underexposed regions but also from overexposed regions.
By fitting a bridge-shaped curve to the illumination map distribution, both regions are suppressed and two tasks are bridged naturally.
... benchmark the method on two established datasets: nuScenes and RobotCar and demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on both of them ...
