Conventional single image based localization methods usually fail to localize a querying image when there exist large variations between the querying image and the pre-built scene. To address this, we propose an image-set querying based…

We introduce BEVRender, a novel learning based approach for the localization of ground vehicles in Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)-denied off-road scenarios. These environments are typically challenging for conventional…

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…

Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) aims to estimate the geographic location of a street image by matching it with a corresponding aerial image. This is critical for autonomous navigation and mapping in complex real-world scenarios. However,…

We propose a new method for fusing a LIDAR point cloud and camera-captured images in the deep convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed method constructs a new layer called non-homogeneous pooling layer to transform features between…

We explore the use of convolutional neural networks for the semantic classification of remote sensing scenes. Two recently proposed architectures, CaffeNet and GoogLeNet, are adopted, with three different learning modalities. Besides…

Planet-scale photo geolocalization is the complex task of estimating the location depicted in an image solely based on its visual content. Due to the success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), current approaches achieve super-human…

The image-to-GPS verification problem asks whether a given image is taken at a claimed GPS location. In this paper, we treat it as an image verification problem -- whether a query image is taken at the same place as a reference image…

In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to fine-grained cross-view geo-localization. Our method aligns a warped ground image with a corresponding GPS-tagged satellite image covering the same area using homography estimation. We first…

Aerial images play a vital role in urban planning and environmental preservation, as they consist of various structures, representing different types of buildings, forests, mountains, and unoccupied lands. Due to its heterogeneous nature,…

Visual localization is a key step in many robotics pipelines, allowing the robot to (approximately) determine its position and orientation in the world. An efficient and scalable approach to visual localization is to use image retrieval…

Considering the accelerated development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) applications in both industrial and research scenarios, there is an increasing need for localizing these aerial systems in non-urban environments, using GNSS-Free,…

Land use as contained in geospatial databases constitutes an essential input for different applica-tions such as urban management, regional planning and environmental monitoring. In this paper, a hierarchical deep learning framework is…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Cross-View Geo-Localization (CVGL) presents significant challenges due to the view discrepancy between oblique UAV images and overhead satellite images. Existing methods heavily rely on the supervision of…

Visual localization and mapping is the key technology underlying the majority of mixed reality and robotics systems. Most state-of-the-art approaches rely on local features to establish correspondences between images. In this paper, we…

Many applications such as autonomous navigation, urban planning and asset monitoring, rely on the availability of accurate information about objects and their geolocations. In this paper we propose to automatically detect and compute the…

We address the problem of finding reliable dense correspondences between a pair of images. This is a challenging task due to strong appearance differences between the corresponding scene elements and ambiguities generated by repetitive…

While both outdoor and indoor localization methods are flourishing, how to properly marry them to offer pervasive localizability in urban areas remains open. Recently proposals on indoor-outdoor detection make the first step towards such an…

In recent years, deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) has seen a breakthrough progress in natural image recognition because of three points: universal approximation ability via DCNN, large-scale database (such as ImageNet), and…

In this paper, we focus on the task of multi-view multi-source geo-localization, which serves as an important auxiliary method of GPS positioning by matching drone-view image and satellite-view image with pre-annotated GPS tag. To solve…
