  In the last decade, supervised deep learning approaches have been extensively
employed in visual odometry (VO) applications, which is not feasible in
environments where labelled data is not abundant. On the other hand,
unsupervised deep learning approaches for localization and mapping in unknown
environments from unlabelled data have received comparatively less attention in
VO research. In this study, we propose a generative unsupervised learning
framework that predicts 6-DoF pose camera motion and monocular depth map of the
scene from unlabelled RGB image sequences, using deep convolutional Generative
Adversarial Networks (GANs). We create a supervisory signal by warping view
sequences and assigning the re-projection minimization to the objective loss
function that is adopted in multi-view pose estimation and single-view depth
generation network. Detailed quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the
proposed framework on the KITTI and Cityscapes datasets show that the proposed
method outperforms both existing traditional and unsupervised deep VO methods
providing better results for both pose estimation and depth recovery.
