Technically // it shouldn't, and the computation of the scaling should proceed // as below, however we found in experiments that applying the // curvature correction when rho'' < 0, which is the case when we // are in the outlier region slows down the convergence of the // algorithm significantly. // // Thus, we have divided the action of the robustifier into two // parts. In the inliner region, we do the full second order // correction which re-wights the gradient of the function by the // square root of the derivative of rho, and the Gauss-Newton // Hessian gets both the scaling and the rank-1 curvature // correction. Normally, alpha is upper bounded by one, but with this // change, alpha is bounded above by zero. // // Empirically we have observed that the full Triggs correction and // the clamped correction both start out as very good approximations // to the loss function when we are in the convex part of the // function, but as the function starts transitioning from convex to // concave, the Triggs approximation diverges more and more and // ultimately becomes linear. The clamped Triggs model however // remains quadratic. // // The reason why the Triggs approximation becomes so poor is // because the curvature correction that it applies to the gauss // newton hessian goes from being a full rank correction to a rank // deficient correction making the inversion of the Hessian fraught // with all sorts of misery and suffering. // // The clamped correction retains its quadratic nature and inverting it // is always well formed. if ((sq_norm == 0.0) || (rho[2] <= 0.0)) { residual_scaling_ = sqrt_rho1_; alpha_sq_norm_ = 0.0; return; } // We now require that the first derivative of the loss function be // positive only if the second derivative is positive.
