Traditional Bag-of-visual Words (BoWs) model is commonly generated with many steps including local feature extraction, codebook generation, and feature quantization, etc. Those steps are relatively independent with each other and are hard…
In this work, we propose an open-vocabulary object detection method that, based on image-caption pairs, learns to detect novel object classes along with a given set of known classes. It is a two-stage training approach that first uses a…
Loop closure detection (LCD) is a core component of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM): it identifies revisited places and enables pose-graph constraints that correct accumulated drift. Classic bag-of-words approaches such as DBoW…
In visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), the quality of the visual vocabulary is fundamental to the system's ability to represent environments and recognize locations. While ORB-SLAM is a widely used framework, its binary…
Image Classification based on BOW (Bag-of-words) has broad application prospect in pattern recognition field but the shortcomings are existed because of single feature and low classification accuracy. To this end we combine three…
Loop closure is necessary for correcting errors accumulated in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in unknown environments. However, conventional loop closure methods based on low-level geometric or image features may cause high…
Due to the prevalence of mobile devices, mobile search becomes a more convenient way than desktop search. Different from the traditional desktop search, mobile visual search needs more consideration for the limited resources on mobile…
Medical Image Retrieval is a challenging field in Visual information retrieval, due to the multi-dimensional and multi-modal context of the underlying content. Traditional models often fail to take the intrinsic characteristics of data into…
Loop closure can effectively correct the accumulated error in robot localization, which plays a critical role in the long-term navigation of the robot. Traditional appearance-based methods rely on local features and are prone to failure in…
Loop detection plays a key role in visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) by correcting the accumulated pose drift. In indoor scenarios, the richly distributed semantic landmarks are view-point invariant and hold strong…

Loop closure, as one of the crucial components in SLAM, plays an essential role in correcting the accumulated errors. Traditional appearance-based methods, such as bag-of-words models, are often limited by local 2D features and the volume…
Requirement traceability is the process of identifying the inter-dependencies between requirements. It poses a significant challenge when conducted manually, especially when dealing with requirements at various levels of abstraction. In…
CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) has become a popular choice for various downstream tasks. However, recent studies have questioned its ability to represent compositional concepts effectively. These works suggest that CLIP often…
We present a novel scalable framework for image change detection (ICD) from an on-board 3D imagery system. We argue that existing ICD systems are constrained by the time required to align a given query image with individual reference image…
Embodied reasoning systems integrate robotic hardware and cognitive processes to perform complex tasks, typically in response to a natural language query about a specific physical environment. This usually involves changing the belief about…
LiDAR-based SLAM system is admittedly more accurate and stable than others, while its loop closure detection is still an open issue. With the development of 3D semantic segmentation for point cloud, semantic information can be obtained…
This paper addresses the challenging problem of open-vocabulary object detection (OVOD) where an object detector must identify both seen and unseen classes in test images without labeled examples of the unseen classes in training. A typical…
