Why 3D Reconstruction Breaks Down on Under-Ice AUV Video, and How to Predict It
From the abstract
Reconstruction of 3D structures using under-ice AUV video footage has been inaccurate, although it is not certain whether this is due to shortcomings in the methods or an inherent deficiency of the capture system. We test four different models for reconstruction on the same Antarctic under-ice AUV video (Icefin, Kamb Ice Stream): classical feature matching SfM, differentiable photometric splatting, volumetric depth fusion, and a pose-free feed-forward foundation model.
