• Abstract: Ground texture based localization is a promising approach to achieve high-accuracy positioning of vehicles. We present a self-contained method that can be used for global localization as well as for subsequent local localization updates, i.e. it allows a robot to localize without any knowledge of its current whereabouts, but it can also take advantage of a prior pose estimate to reduce computation time significantly. Our method is based on a novel matching strategy, which we call identity matching, that is based on compact binary feature descriptors. Identity matching treats pairs of features as matches only if their descriptors are identical. While other methods for global localization are faster to compute, our method reaches higher localization success rates, and can switch to local localization after the initial localization.

  Direct 2D-3D matching algorithms require significantly less memory but suffer from lower accuracy due to the larger and more ambiguous search space. We address this ambiguity by fusing local and global descriptors using a weighted average operator within a 2D-3D search framework. We consistently improve the accuracy over local-only systems and achieve performance close to hierarchical methods while halving memory requirements.

Our MTLDesc significantly surpasses the prior state-of-the-art local descriptors on HPatches, Aachen Day-Night localization and InLoc indoor localization benchmarks.

  LocUNet: A deep learning method for localization, based merely on Received Signal Strength (RSS) from Base Stations (BSs) In the proposed method, the user to be localized reports the RSS from BSs to a Central Processing Unit ( CPU) which may be located in the cloud. Using estimated pathloss radio maps of the BSs, LocUNet can localize users with state-of-the-art accuracy and enjoys high robustness to inaccuracies in the radio maps.

  Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to discriminate images from unseen classes by exploiting relations to seen classes via their semantic descriptions. We propose localizing representations in the semantic/attribute space, with a simple but effective pipeline where localization is implicit. Our method can be implemented easily, which can be used as a new baseline for zero shot-learning.
