DINO-VO: Learning Where to Focus for Enhanced State Estimation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.04055v1 Announce Type: new We present DINO Patch Visual Odometry (DINO-VO), an end-to-end monocular visual odometry system with strong scene generalization. Current Visual Odometry (VO) systems often rely on heuristic feature extraction strategies, which can degrade accuracy and robustness, particularly in large-scale outdoor environments. DINO-VO addresses these limitations by incorporating a differentiable adaptive patch selector into the end-to-end pipeline, improving the quality of extracted patches and enhancing generalization across diverse datasets.
