Accurate visual re-localization is very critical to many artificial intelligence applications, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, robotics and autonomous driving. To accomplish this task, we propose an integrated visual re-localization method called RLOCS by combining image retrieval, semantic consistency and geometry verification to achieve accurate estimations. The localization pipeline is designed as a coarse-to-fine paradigm. In the retrieval part, we cascade the architecture of ResNet101-GeM-ArcFace and employ DBSCAN followed by spatial verification to obtain a better initial coarse pose. We design a module called observation constraints, which combines geometry information and semantic consistency for filtering outliers. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on open datasets, including retrieval on R-Oxford5k and R-Paris6k, semantic segmentation on Cityscapes, localization on Aachen Day-Night and InLoc. By creatively modifying separate modules in the total pipeline, our method achieves many performance improvements on the challenging localization benchmarks.

Compared to LiDAR-based localization methods, which provide high accuracy but rely on expensive sensors, visual localization approaches only require a camera and thus are more cost-effective while their accuracy and reliability typically is inferior
to LiDAR-based methods. In this work, we propose a vision-based localization approach that learns from LiDAR-based localization methods by using their output as training data, thus combining a cheap, passive sensor with an accuracy that is on-par with LiDAR-based localization. The approach consists of two deep networks trained on visual odometry and topological localization, respectively, and a successive optimization to combine the predictions of these two networks. We evaluate the approach on a new challenging pedestrian-based dataset captured over the course of six months in varying weather conditions with a high degree of noise. The experiments demonstrate that the localization errors are up to 10 times smaller than with traditional vision-based localization methods.
This paper considers online object-level mapping using partial point-cloud observations obtained online in an unknown environment. We develop and approach for fully Convolutional Object Retrieval and Symmetry-AIded Registration (CORSAIR). Our model e
xtends the Fully Convolutional Geometric Features model to learn a global object-shape embedding in addition to local point-wise features from the point-cloud observations. The global feature is used to retrieve a similar object from a category database, and the local features are used for robust pose registration between the observed and the retrieved object. Our formulation also leverages symmetries, present in the object shapes, to obtain promising local-feature pairs from different symmetry classes for matching. We present results from synthetic and real-world datasets with different object categories to verify the robustness of our method.
We present a vehicle self-localization method using point-based deep neural networks. Our approach processes measurements and point features, i.e. landmarks, from a high-definition digital map to infer the vehicles pose. To learn the best association
and incorporate local information between the point sets, we propose an attention mechanism that matches the measurements to the corresponding landmarks. Finally, we use this representation for the point-cloud registration and the subsequent pose regression task. Furthermore, we introduce a training simulation framework that artificially generates measurements and landmarks to facilitate the deployment process and reduce the cost of creating extensive datasets from real-world data. We evaluate our method on our dataset, as well as an adapted version of the Kitti odometry dataset, where we achieve superior performance compared to related approaches; and additionally show dominant generalization capabilities.
Visual navigation localizes a query place image against a reference database of place images, also known as a `visual map. Localization accuracy requirements for specific areas of the visual map, `scene classes, vary according to the context of the e
nvironment and task. State-of-the-art visual mapping is unable to reflect these requirements by explicitly targetting scene classes for inclusion in the map. Four different scene classes, including pedestrian crossings and stations, are identified in each of the Nordland and St. Lucia datasets. Instead of re-training separate scene classifiers which struggle with these overlapping scene classes we make our first contribution: defining the problem of `scene retrieval. Scene retrieval extends image retrieval to classification of scenes defined at test time by associating a single query image to reference images of scene classes. Our second contribution is a triplet-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) to address this problem which increases scene classification accuracy by up to 7% against state-of-the-art networks pre-trained for scene recognition. The second contribution is an algorithm `DMC that combines our scene classification with distance and memorability for visual mapping. Our analysis shows that DMC includes 64% more images of our chosen scene classes in a visual map than just using distance interval mapping. State-of-the-art visual place descriptors AMOS-Net, Hybrid-Net and NetVLAD are finally used to show that DMC improves scene class localization accuracy by a mean of 3% and localization accuracy of the remaining map images by a mean of 10% across both datasets.
In recent years, camera-based localization has been widely used for robotic applications, and most proposed algorithms rely on local features extracted from recorded images. For better performance, the features used for open-loop localization are req
uired to be short-term globally static, and the ones used for re-localization or loop closure detection need to be long-term static. Therefore, the motion attribute of a local feature point could be exploited to improve localization performance, e.g., the feature points extracted from moving persons or vehicles can be excluded from these systems due to their unsteadiness. In this paper, we design a fully convolutional network (FCN), named MD-Net, to perform motion attribute estimation and feature description simultaneously. MD-Net has a shared backbone network to extract features from the input image and two network branches to complete each sub-task. With MD-Net, we can obtain the motion attribute while avoiding increasing much more computation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can learn distinct local feature descriptor along with motion attribute only using an FCN, by outperforming competing methods by a wide margin. We also show that the proposed algorithm can be integrated into a vision-based localization algorithm to improve estimation accuracy significantly.
