• Abstract: Active camera relocalization (ACR) is a new problem in computer vision that significantly reduces the false alarm caused by image distortions due to camera pose misalignment in fine-grained change detection (FGCD). Despite the fruitful achievements that ACR can support, it still remains a challenging problem caused by the unstable results of relative pose estimation, especially for outdoor scenes, where the lighting condition is out of control, i.e., the twice observations may have highly varied illuminations. This paper studies an illumination-invariant active camera relocalization method, it improves both in relative pose estimation and scale estimation. We use plane segments as an intermediate representation to facilitate feature matching, thus further boosting pose estimation robustness and reliability under lighting variances. Moreover, we construct a linear system to obtain the absolute scale in each ACR iteration by minimizing the image warping error, thus, significantly reduce the time consume of ACR process, it is nearly $1.6$ times faster than the state-of-the-art ACR strategy. Our work greatly expands the feasibility of real-world fine-grained change monitoring tasks for cultural heritages. Extensive experiments tests and real-world applications verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed pose estimation method using for ACR tasks.

  Low-light image enhancement, particularly in cross-domain tasks such as mapping from the raw domain to the sRGB domain, remains a significant challenge. We present a novel Mamba scanning mechanism, called RAWMamba, to effectively handle raw images with different CFAs. We also present a Retinex Decomposition Module (RDM) grounded in Retinex prior, which decouples illumination from reflectance to facilitate more effective denoising and automatic non-linear exposure correction.

  A single neural network is difficult to handle all exposure problems. In particular, convolutions hinder the ability to restore faithful color or details on extremely over-/under- exposed regions. We propose a Macro-Micro-Hierarchical transformer, which consists of a macro attention to capture long-range dependencies, a micro attention to extract local features, and a hierarchical structure for coarse-to-fine correction.
