Homography estimation is a crucial task in aligning template images with target images in stamping monitoring systems. To enhance the robustness and accuracy of homography estimation against random vibrations and lighting variations in stamping environments, this paper proposes an improved unsupervised homography estimation model. The model takes as input the channel-stacked template and target images and outputs the estimated homography matrix. First, a specialized deformable convolution module and Group Normalization (GN) layer are introduced to expand the receptive field and enhance the model’s ability to learn rotational invariance when processing large, high-resolution images. Next, a multi-scale, multi-stage unsupervised homography estimation network structure is constructed to improve the accuracy of homography estimation by refining the estimation through multiple stages, thereby enhancing the model’s resistance to scale variations. Finally, stamping monitoring image data is incorporated into the training through data fusion, with data augmentation techniques applied to randomly introduce various levels of perturbation, brightness, contrast, and filtering to improve the model’s robustness to complex changes in the stamping environment, making it more suitable for monitoring applications in this specific industrial context. Compared to traditional methods, this approach provides better homography matrix estimation when handling images with low texture, significant lighting variations, or large viewpoint changes. Compared to other deep-learning-based homography estimation methods, it reduces estimation errors and performs better on stamping monitoring images, while also offering broader applicability. |
