• Abstract: Camera localization aims to estimate 6 DoF camera poses from RGB images. Traditional methods detect and match interest points between a query image and a pre-built 3D model. Recent learning-based approaches encode scene structures into a specific convolutional neural network (CNN) and thus are able to predict dense coordinates from RGB images. However, most of them require re-training or re-adaption for a new scene and have difficulties in handling large-scale scenes due to limited network capacity. We present a new method for scene agnostic camera localization using dense scene matching (DSM), where a cost volume is constructed between a query image and a scene. The cost volume and the corresponding coordinates are processed by a CNN to predict dense coordinates. Camera poses can then be solved by PnP algorithms. In addition, our method can be extended to temporal domain, which leads to extra performance boost during testing time. Our scene-agnostic approach achieves comparable accuracy as the existing scene-specific approaches, such as KFNet, on the 7scenes and Cambridge benchmark. This approach also remarkably outperforms state-of-the-art scene-agnostic dense coordinate regression network SANet. The Code is available at https://github.com/Tangshitao/Dense-Scene-Matching.

  Scene coordinate regression methods are effective in small-scale scenes but face significant challenges in large-scale scenes. We propose GLACE, which integrates pre-trained global and local encodings and enables SCR to scale to large scenes with only a single small-sized network. Our method achieves state-of-the-art results on large-scale scenes with a low-map-size model.

  Method based on scene landmark detection (SLD) was recently proposed to address these limitations. It involves training a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect a few predetermined, salient, scene-specific 3D points or landmarks. We show that the accuracy gap was due to insufficient model capacity and noisy labels during training.

  We propose a generalized SCR model trained once in new test scenes, regardless of their scale, without any finetuning. Instead of encoding the scene coordinates into the network weights, our model takes as input a database image with some sparse 2D pixel to 3D coordinate annotations. We show that the database representation of images and their 2D-3D annotations can be highly compressed with negligible loss of localization performance.

  Visual (re)localization addresses the problem of estimating the 6-DoF camera pose of a query image captured in a known scene. Recent advances in structure-based localization solve this problem by memorizing the mapping from image pixels to scene coordinates. We propose a scene region classification approach to achieve fast and effective scene memorization with few-shot images.
