Researchers have developed EAR-Net, a novel deep learning method for estimating absolute rotations from multi-view images. Unlike traditional multi-stage approaches that accumulate errors, EAR-Net employs an end-to-end strategy. It constructs an epipolar confidence graph to predict pairwise relative rotations and their confidences, which are then used in a differentiable rotation averaging module to determine absolute rotations. This approach effectively handles outliers and has demonstrated superior accuracy and speed compared to existing methods on public datasets. AI
