• Abstract summary: Visual re-localization means using a single image as input to estimate the camera's location and orientation relative to a pre-recorded environment. Our proposed method makes few special assumptions, and is fairly lightweight in training and testing. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on both standard indoor (7-Scenes) and outdoor (Cambridge Landmarks) camera re-localization benchmarks.

• Abstract: Visual re-localization means using a single image as input to estimate the camera's location and orientation relative to a pre-recorded environment. The highest-scoring methods are "structure based," and need the query camera's intrinsics as an input to the model, with careful geometric optimization. When intrinsics are absent, methods vie for accuracy by making various other assumptions. This yields fairly good localization scores, but the models are "narrow" in some way, eg., requiring costly test-time computations, or depth sensors, or multiple query frames. In contrast, our proposed method makes few special assumptions, and is fairly lightweight in training and testing. Our pose regression network learns from only relative poses of training scenes. For inference, it builds a graph connecting the query image to training counterparts and uses a graph neural network (GNN) with image representations on nodes and image-pair representations on edges. By efficiently passing messages between them, both representation types are refined to produce a consistent camera pose estimate. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on both standard indoor (7-Scenes) and outdoor (Cambridge Landmarks) camera re-localization benchmarks. Our relative pose regression method matches the accuracy of absolute pose regression networks, while retaining the relative-pose models' test-time speed and ability to generalize to non-training scenes.

  SRPose is a sparse keypoint-based framework for two-view relative pose estimation in camera-to-world and object-to-camera scenarios. It achieves competitive or superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and speed. It is robust to different image sizes and camera intrinsics, and can be deployed with low computing resources.

• Learning to Localize in Unseen Scenes with Relative Pose Regressors [5.672132510411465]
  Relative pose regressors (RPRs) localize a camera by estimating its relative translation and rotation to a pose-labelled reference. In practice, however, the performance of RPRs is significantly degraded in unseen scenes. We implement aggregation with concatenation, projection, and attention operations (Transformers) and learn to regress the relative pose parameters from the resulting latent codes. Compared to state-of-the-art RPRs, our model is shown to localize significantly better in unseen environments, across both indoor and outdoor benchmarks, while maintaining competitive performance in seen scenes.

  We propose a probabilistic framework that for a given image predicts the arbitrarily shaped posterior distribution of its camera pose. We do this via a novel formulation of camera pose regression using variational inference, which allows sampling from the predicted distribution. Our method outperforms existing methods on localization in ambiguous scenes.

• Visual Localization via Few-Shot Scene Region Classification [84.34083435501094]
  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.

  We introduce Camera Pose Auto-Encoders (PAEs) to encode camera poses using APRs as their teachers. We show that the resulting latent pose representations can closely reproduce APR performance and demonstrate their effectiveness for related tasks. We also show that train images can be reconstructed from the learned pose encoding, paving the way for integrating visual information from the train set at a low memory cost.
