We learn, in an unsupervised way, an embedding from sequences of radar images that is suitable for solving place recognition problem using complex radar data. We experiment on 280 km of data and show performance exceeding state-of-the-art supervised approaches, localising correctly 98.38% of the time when using just the nearest database candidate.

Place recognition is critical for both offline mapping and online localization. However, current single-sensor based place recognition still remains challenging in adverse conditions. In this paper, a heterogeneous measurements based framework is pro
posed for long-term place recognition, which retrieves the query radar scans from the existing lidar maps. To achieve this, a deep neural network is built with joint training in the learning stage, and then in the testing stage, shared embeddings of radar and lidar are extracted for heterogeneous place recognition. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conduct tests and generalization experiments on the multi-session public datasets compared to other competitive methods. The experimental results indicate that our model is able to perform multiple place recognitions: lidar-to-lidar, radar-to-radar and radar-to-lidar, while the learned model is trained only once. We also release the source code publicly: https://github.com/ZJUYH/radar-to-lidar-place-recognition.
For ego-motion estimation, the feature representation of the scenes is crucial. Previous methods indicate that both the low-level and semantic feature-based methods can achieve promising results. Therefore, the incorporation of hierarchical feature r
epresentation may benefit from both methods. From this perspective, we propose a novel direct feature odometry framework, named DFO, for depth estimation and hierarchical feature representation learning from monocular videos. By exploiting the metric distance, our framework is able to learn the hierarchical feature representation without supervision. The pose is obtained with a coarse-to-fine approach from high-level to low-level features in enlarged feature maps. The pixel-level attention mask can be self-learned to provide the prior information. In contrast to the previous methods, our proposed method calculates the camera motion with a direct method rather than regressing the ego-motion from the pose network. With this approach, the consistency of the scale factor of translation can be constrained. Additionally, the proposed method is thus compatible with the traditional SLAM pipeline. Experiments on the KITTI dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
We propose a methodology for robust, real-time place recognition using an imaging lidar, which yields image-quality high-resolution 3D point clouds. Utilizing the intensity readings of an imaging lidar, we project the point cloud and obtain an intens
ity image. ORB feature descriptors are extracted from the image and encoded into a bag-of-words vector. The vector, used to identify the point cloud, is inserted into a database that is maintained by DBoW for fast place recognition queries. The returned candidate is further validated by matching visual feature descriptors. To reject matching outliers, we apply PnP, which minimizes the reprojection error of visual features positions in Euclidean space with their correspondences in 2D image space, using RANSAC. Combining the advantages from both camera and lidar-based place recognition approaches, our method is truly rotation-invariant, and can tackle reverse revisiting and upside down revisiting. The proposed method is evaluated on datasets gathered from a variety of platforms over different scales and environments. Our implementation and datasets are available at https://git.io/image-lidar
Place recognition is indispensable for a drift-free localization system. Due to the variations of the environment, place recognition using single-modality has limitations. In this paper, we propose a bi-modal place recognition method, which can extra
ct a compound global descriptor from the two modalities, vision and LiDAR. Specifically, we first build the elevation image generated from 3D points as a structural representation. Then, we derive the correspondences between 3D points and image pixels that are further used in merging the pixel-wise visual features into the elevation map grids. In this way, we fuse the structural features and visual features in the consistent bird-eye view frame, yielding a semantic representation, namely CORAL. And the whole network is called CORAL-VLAD. Comparisons on the Oxford RobotCar show that CORAL-VLAD has superior performance against other state-of-the-art methods. We also demonstrate that our network can be generalized to other scenes and sensor configurations on cross-city datasets.
Recently, the methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have gained popularity in the field of visual place recognition (VPR). In particular, the features from the middle layers of CNNs are more robust to drastic appearance changes than h
andcrafted features and high-layer features. Unfortunately, the holistic mid-layer features lack robustness to large viewpoint changes. Here we split the holistic mid-layer features into local features, and propose an adaptive dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm to align local features from the spatial domain while measuring the distance between two images. This realizes viewpoint-invariant and condition-invariant place recognition. Meanwhile, a local matching DTW (LM-DTW) algorithm is applied to perform image sequence matching based on temporal alignment, which achieves further improvements and ensures linear time complexity. We perform extensive experiments on five representative VPR datasets. The results show that the proposed method significantly improves the CNN-based methods. Moreover, our method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods while maintaining good run-time performance. This work provides a novel way to boost the performance of CNN methods without any re-training for VPR. The code is available at https://github.com/Lu-Feng/STA-VPR.
