Loop closing and relocalization are crucial techniques to establish reliable and robust long-term SLAM by addressing pose estimation drift and degeneration. This article begins by formulating loop closing and relocalization within a unified…

The overarching goals in image-based localization are scale, robustness and speed. In recent years, approaches based on local features and sparse 3D point-cloud models have both dominated the benchmarks and seen successful realworld…

Visual localization tackles the challenge of estimating the camera pose from images by using correspondence analysis between query images and a map. This task is computation and data intensive which poses challenges on thorough evaluation…

This paper presents a novel framework for simultaneously implementing localization and segmentation, which are two of the most important vision-based tasks for robotics. While the goals and techniques used for them were considered to be…

In some scenarios, a single input image may not be enough to allow the object classification. In those cases, it is crucial to explore the complementary information extracted from images presenting the same object from multiple perspectives…

Visual (re)localization addresses the problem of estimating the 6-DoF (Degree of Freedom) camera pose of a query image captured in a known scene, which is a key building block of many computer vision and robotics applications. Recent…

Image geolocalization, the task of determining an image's geographic origin, poses significant challenges, largely due to visual similarities across disparate locations and the large search space. To address these issues, we propose a…

We present LM-Reloc -- a novel approach for visual relocalization based on direct image alignment. In contrast to prior works that tackle the problem with a feature-based formulation, the proposed method does not rely on feature matching…

While deep learning has become a key ingredient in the top performing methods for many computer vision tasks, it has failed so far to bring similar improvements to instance-level image retrieval. In this article, we argue that reasons for…

High-resolution (HR) image perception presents a key bottleneck for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). While visual search offers a promising solution, existing methods struggle with the trade-off between coverage and efficiency.…

Determining the location of an image anywhere on Earth is a complex visual task, which makes it particularly relevant for evaluating computer vision algorithms. Yet, the absence of standard, large-scale, open-access datasets with reliably…

Acquiring count annotations generally requires less human effort than point-level and bounding box annotations. Thus, we propose the novel problem setup of localizing objects in dense scenes under this weaker supervision. We propose LOOC, a…

The 3D reconstruction of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is an important topic in the field for transport systems such as drones, service robots and mobile AR/VR devices. Compared to a point cloud representation, the 3D…

This paper presents an approach to tackle the re-identification problem. This is a challenging problem due to the large variation of pose, illumination or camera view. More and more datasets are available to train machine learning models…

Estimation of the frequency and duration of logos in videos is important and challenging in the advertisement industry as a way of estimating the impact of ad purchases. Since logos occupy only a small area in the videos, the popular…

Recently, camera localization has been widely adopted in autonomous robotic navigation due to its efficiency and convenience. However, autonomous navigation in unknown environments often suffers from scene ambiguity, environmental…

A major focus of current research on place recognition is visual localization for autonomous driving. In this scenario, as cameras will be operating continuously, it is realistic to expect videos as an input to visual localization…

Next Location Prediction is a fundamental task in the study of human mobility, with wide-ranging applications in transportation planning, urban governance, and epidemic forecasting. In practice, when humans attempt to predict the next…

For VSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), localization is a challenging task, especially for some challenging situations: textureless frames, motion blur, etc.. To build a robust exploration and localization system in a…

Typical attempts to improve the capability of visual place recognition techniques include the use of multi-sensor fusion and integration of information over time from image sequences. These approaches can improve performance but have…
