Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for utilizing an uncertainty map to select a best set of optical flow estimates for one or more vehicles. For instance, a method may include receiving one or more images captured by one or more cameras of at least one vehicle, analyzing the one or more images by inputting the one or more images into a trained machine-learning model, wherein the trained machine-learning model is configured to process the one or more images to determine an optical flow map and an uncertainty map, determining a feature map based on the optical flow map, determining an improved feature map by applying the uncertainty map to the feature map, transforming the improved feature map by applying at least one transformation or optimization to the improved feature map, and based on the transformed improved feature map, estimating a pose value, a velocity value, or an attitude value.
