To what extent are two images picturing the same 3D surfaces? Even when this is a known scene, the answer typically requires an expensive search across scale space, with matching and geometric verification of large sets of local features.…

High precision localization is a crucial requirement for the autonomous driving system. Traditional positioning methods have some limitations in providing stable and accurate vehicle poses, especially in an urban environment. Herein, we…

Visual relationship detection, as a challenging task used to find and distinguish the interactions between object pairs in one image, has received much attention recently. In this work, we propose a novel visual relationship detection…

In this work, we introduce a deep-learning framework designed for estimating dense image correspondences. Our fully convolutional model generates dense feature maps for images, where each pixel is associated with a descriptor that can be…

The concept of geo-localization refers to the process of determining where on earth some `entity' is located, typically using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates. The entity of interest may be an image, sequence of images, a video,…

With the expanding application scope of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the demand for stable UAV control has significantly increased. However, in complex environments, GPS signals are prone to interference, resulting in ineffective UAV…

Computer vision is developing rapidly with the support of deep learning techniques. This thesis proposes an advanced vehicle-detection model based on an improvement to classical convolutional neural networks. The advanced model was applied…

Large-scale visual localization systems continue to rely on 3D point clouds built from image collections using structure-from-motion. While the 3D points in these models are represented using local image features, directly matching a query…

Visual-based recognition, e.g., image classification, object detection, etc., is a long-standing challenge in computer vision and robotics communities. Concerning the roboticists, since the knowledge of the environment is a prerequisite for…

Visual place recognition is essential for vision-based robot localization and SLAM. Despite the tremendous progress made in recent years, place recognition in changing environments remains challenging. A promising approach to cope with…

Visual place recognition is a critical task in computer vision, especially for localization and navigation systems. Existing methods often rely on contrastive learning: image descriptors are trained to have small distance for similar images…

We present a novel approach to geolocalising panoramic images on a 2-D cartographic map based on learning a low dimensional embedded space, which allows a comparison between an image captured at a location and local neighbourhoods of the…

We propose a novel external indoor positioning system that computes the position and orientation of multiple model-scale vehicles. For this purpose, we use a camera mounted at a height of 3.3m and LEDs attached to each vehicle. We reach an…

Visual place recognition methods struggle with occlusions and partial visual overlaps. We propose a novel visual place recognition approach based on overlap prediction, called VOP, shifting from traditional reliance on global image…

Accurate localization on autonomous driving cars is essential for autonomy and driving safety, especially for complex urban streets and search-and-rescue subterranean environments where high-accurate GPS is not available. However current…

Image retrieval is the problem of searching an image database for items that are similar to a query image. To address this task, two main types of image representations have been studied: global and local image features. In this work, our…

Visual localization is a useful alternative to standard localization techniques. It works by utilizing cameras. In a typical scenario, features are extracted from captured images and compared with geo-referenced databases. Location…

Visual localization is the problem of estimating the camera pose of a given query image within a known scene. Most state-of-the-art localization approaches follow the structure-based paradigm and use 2D-3D matches between pixels in a query…

Computer vision-based parking lot management methods have been extensively researched upon owing to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness. To evaluate such methods authors often employ publicly available parking lot image datasets. In…

Image registration is a process of aligning two or more images of same objects using geometric transformation. Most of the existing approaches work on the assumption of location invariance. These approaches require object-centric images to…
