• Title: Unsupervised Place Recognition with Deep Embedding Learning over Radar Videos
• Authors: Matthew Gadd, Daniele De Martini, Paul Newman
• Abstract summary: We learn, in an unsupervised way, an embedding from sequences of radar images that is suitable for solving place recognition problem using complex radar data. We show performance exceeding state-of-the-art supervised approaches, localising correctly 98.38% of the time when using just the nearest database candidate.

• Abstract: We learn, in an unsupervised way, an embedding from sequences of radar images that is suitable for solving place recognition problem using complex radar data. We experiment on 280 km of data and show performance exceeding state-of-the-art supervised approaches, localising correctly 98.38% of the time when using just the nearest database candidate.

  Training radar models is hindered by the cost and difficulty of annotating large-scale radar data. We propose a self-supervised learning framework to leverage the large amount of unlabeled radar data to pre-train radar-only embeddings for self-driving perception tasks. When used for downstream object detection, we demonstrate that the proposed self-supervision framework can improve the accuracy of state-of-the-art supervised baselines by $5.8%$ in mAP.

  In this paper, a heterogeneous measurements based framework is proposed for long-term place recognition. A deep neural network is built with joint training in the learning stage, and then in the testing stage, shared embeddings of radar and lidar are extracted for heterogeneous place recognition. The experimental results indicate that our model is able to perform multiple place recognitions: lidar-to-lidar, radar-to-radar and radar-to-lidar, while the learned model is trained only once.

  In this paper, we explore the possibility of achieving a more accurate depth estimation by fusing monocular images and Radar points using a deep neural network. We find that the noise existing in Radar measurements is one of the main key reasons that prevents one from applying the existing fusion methods. The experiments are conducted on the nuScenes dataset, which is one of the first datasets which features Camera, Radar, and LiDAR recordings in diverse scenes and weather conditions.
