Deep learning has achieved impressive results in camera localization, but current single-image techniques typically suffer from a lack of robustness, leading to large outliers. To some extent, this has been tackled by sequential…
Existing visual localization methods are typically either 2D image-based, which are easy to build and maintain but limited in effective geometric reasoning, or 3D structure-based, which achieve high accuracy but require a centralized…
Precise object placement remains underexplored in aerial manipulation, where most systems rely on predefined target coordinates and focus primarily on grasping and control. Specifying exact placement poses, however, is cumbersome in…

Global localization is a critical problem in autonomous navigation, enabling precise positioning without reliance on GPS. Modern global localization techniques often depend on dense LiDAR maps, which, while precise, require extensive…
Humans use spatial language to naturally describe object locations and their relations. Interpreting spatial language not only adds a perceptual modality for robots, but also reduces the barrier of interfacing with humans. Previous work…
Fingerprinting-based localization often suffers from poor cross-environment generalization, especially when only a few labeled samples are available in the target environment. Existing methods mitigate distribution shifts through domain…
Cross-view geo-localization infers a location by retrieving geo-tagged reference images that visually correspond to a query image. However, the traditional satellite-centric paradigm limits robustness when high-resolution or up-to-date…
