Hashing methods have been widely investigated for fast approximate nearest neighbor searching in large data sets. Most existing methods use binary vectors in lower dimensional spaces to represent data points that are usually real vectors of…
Aerial images are often taken under poor lighting conditions and contain low resolution objects, many times occluded by other objects. In this domain, visual context could be of great help, but there are still very few papers that consider…
Ground texture based localization methods are potential prospects for low-cost, high-accuracy self-localization solutions for robots. These methods estimate the pose of a given query image, i.e. the current observation of the ground from a…
We present a novel two-view geometry estimation framework which is based on a differentiable robust loss function fitting. We propose to treat the robust fundamental matrix estimation as an implicit layer, which allows us to avoid…
The large variation of viewpoint and irrelevant content around the target always hinder accurate image retrieval and its subsequent tasks. In this paper, we investigate an extremely challenging task: given a ground-view image of a landmark,…
In this paper we propose a novel method for image matching based on dense local features and tailored for visual geolocalization. Dense local features matching is robust against changes in illumination and occlusions, but not against…
Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) aims to establish spatial correspondences between images captured from significantly different viewpoints and constitutes a fundamental technique for visual localization in GNSS-denied environments.…
Cross-View Object Geo-Localization (CVOGL) aims to locate an object of interest in a query image within a corresponding satellite image. Existing methods typically assume that the query image contains only a single object, which does not…
The human visual system processes images with varied degrees of resolution, with the fovea, a small portion of the retina, capturing the highest acuity region, which gradually declines toward the field of view's periphery. However, the…
Methods that combine local and global features have recently shown excellent performance on multiple challenging deep image retrieval benchmarks, but their use of local features raises at least two issues. First, these local features simply…
Due to the complex and highly dynamic motions in the real world, synthesizing dynamic videos from multi-view inputs for arbitrary viewpoints is challenging. Previous works based on neural radiance field or 3D Gaussian splatting are limited…
In the context of optimization, visualization techniques can be useful for understanding the behaviour of optimization algorithms and can even provide a means to facilitate human interaction with an optimizer. Towards this goal, an…
Remote management devices facilitate critical infrastructure monitoring for administrators but simultaneously increase asset exposure. Sensitive geographical information overlooked in exposed device management pages poses substantial…
Visual geolocalization is a cost-effective and scalable task that involves matching one or more query images, taken at some unknown location, to a set of geo-tagged reference images. Existing methods, devoted to semantic features…
In this paper we aim to determine the location and orientation of a ground-level query image by matching to a reference database of overhead (e.g. satellite) images. For this task we collect a new dataset with one million pairs of street…
Image matching, which aims to identify corresponding pixel locations between images, is crucial in a wide range of scientific disciplines, aiding in image registration, fusion, and analysis. In recent years, deep learning-based image…
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…
Multimodal reasoning is a process of understanding, integrating and inferring information across different data modalities. It has recently attracted surging academic attention as a benchmark for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although there…
Accurate 3D reconstruction is frequently hindered by visual aliasing, where visually similar but distinct surfaces (aka, doppelgangers), are incorrectly matched. These spurious matches distort the structure-from-motion (SfM) process,…
