We propose DEFLOW, a model for 3D motion estimation of debris flows, together with a newly captured dataset. We adopt a novel multi-level sensor fusion architecture and self-supervision to incorporate the inductive biases of the scene. We further adopt a multi-frame temporal processing module to enable flow speed estimation over time. Our model achieves state-of-the-art optical flow and depth estimation on our dataset, and fully automates the motion estimation for debris flows. The source code and dataset are available at project page.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.02569v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.02569v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deflow-self-supervised-3d-motion-estimation","repo_url":"https://github.com/prs-eth/DeFlow","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"autonomous-driving","task_name":"Autonomous Driving"},{"task_slug":"depth-estimation","task_name":"Depth Estimation"},{"task_slug":"motion-estimation","task_name":"Motion Estimation"},{"task_slug":"optical-flow-estimation","task_name":"Optical Flow Estimation"},{"task_slug":"scene-flow-estimation","task_name":"Scene Flow Estimation"},{"task_slug":"sensor-fusion","task_name":"Sensor Fusion"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"speed","method_name":"SPEED"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
