New metric challenges standard camera pose evaluation in computer vision

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper questions the standard Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE) metric used in computer vision for evaluating camera pose accuracy. Researchers found that a simple image-free constant-velocity line often outperforms recent models on benchmarks like Sintel and Lightspeed when measured by ATE. This is attributed to ATE's alignment properties, which can map predictions onto a best-fit line, effectively measuring the residual. The paper proposes a new metric, Pose-Anchored ATE (PA-ATE), which considers orientation and better reflects model performance and ground truth accuracy. AI

    A Straight Line Is Not a Camera Pose: Auditing Short-Clip Pose Benchmarks

    arXiv:2611.00482v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The absolute trajectory error (ATE) is the standard measure of camera-motion accuracy, from SLAM to feed-forward 3D reconstruction. On the common Sintel protocol, an image-free constant-velocity line has a lower mean ATE than 10…
