Abstract

Multi-model fitting is fundamental for robust geometric estimation in computer vision. However, recent deep learning methods enable parallel model detection but rely on simple architectures that inadequately model spatial relationships. Moreover, current methods typically generate hypotheses only through minimal solvers on randomly sampled points, thus failing to explore the full diversity of the solution space. To address these limitations, we propose a novel Jacobian-based Gaussian uncertainty modeling framework, which analytically propagates covariance through geometric transformations and enables efficient expansion of the hypothesis space with strong theoretical guarantees. We further introduce a Gaussian Hypothesis Generation Network (GHG-Net) to learn global parameter distributions, enabling the generation of diverse and geometrically valid hypotheses. Additionally, our network captures spatial relationships among observations by employing a dynamic graph neural network with a multi-head attention mechanism. This yields more accurate sample and inlier weights, significantly improving the quality of hypothesis generation. Extensive experiments on three representative geometric estimation tasks (i.e. vanishing point detection, fundamental matrix estimation, and homography estimation) demonstrate that our method achieves new state-of-the-art accuracy and stability, while maintaining high computational efficiency.
