Monocular depth estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for 3D reconstruction and autonomous navigation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In practical deployments, UAVs operate under highly dynamic camera poses characterized by continuous variations in height, pitch, roll, and field of view (FOV).

The paper proposes a data‑centric optimization for object pose estimation that uses a physically grounded rotation representation based on principal axes alignment. By aligning an object's coordinate system with its inertial principal axes, the method achieves inherent stability, symmetry‑aware canonicalization, and framework agnosticism, allowing it to be applied at the dataset level without modifying existing networks. Experiments on category‑level and instance‑level models show consistent accuracy improvements while preserving baseline network integrity.

The paper introduces CalfVO, a monocular visual odometry system that operates without camera intrinsics, test‑time optimization, bundle adjustment, or loop closure. Using a transformer, it predicts relative poses with separate rotation and translation confidences over overlapping image windows, then aggregates these predictions via a confidence‑weighted module to produce a single trajectory. CalfVO achieves the highest accuracy among calibration‑free methods across five benchmarks and runs at 53 FPS, outperforming all baselines.
