Recently, polar-based representation has shown promising properties in perceptual tasks. In addition to Cartesian-based approaches, which separate point clouds unevenly, representing point clouds as polar grids has been recognized as an…
The commonly adopted detect-then-match approach to registration finds difficulties in the cross-modality cases due to the incompatible keypoint detection and inconsistent feature description. We propose, 2D3D-MATR, a detection-free method…
Image-to-point cloud registration methods typically follow a coarse-to-fine pipeline, extracting patch-level correspondences and refining them into dense pixel-to-point matches. However, in scenes with repetitive patterns, images often lack…
LiDAR and camera, as two different sensors, supply geometric (point clouds) and semantic (RGB images) information of 3D scenes. However, it is still challenging for existing methods to fuse data from the two cross sensors, making them…
Active camera relocalization (ACR) is a new problem in computer vision that significantly reduces the false alarm caused by image distortions due to camera pose misalignment in fine-grained change detection (FGCD). Despite the fruitful…
