• Abstract: In robotics, Visual Place Recognition is a continuous process that receives as input a video stream to produce a hypothesis of the robot's current position within a map of known places. This task requires robust, scalable, and efficient techniques for real applications. This work proposes a detailed taxonomy of techniques using sequential descriptors, highlighting different mechanism to fuse the information from the individual images. This categorization is supported by a complete benchmark of experimental results that provides evidence on the strengths and weaknesses of these different architectural choices. In comparison to existing sequential descriptors methods, we further investigate the viability of Transformers instead of CNN backbones, and we propose a new ad-hoc sequence-level aggregator called SeqVLAD, which outperforms prior state of the art on different datasets. The code is available at https://github.com/vandal-vpr/vg-transformers.

  Event cameras offer new opportunities compared to standard action recognition in RGB videos. In this study, we employ a computationally efficient model, namely the video transformer network (VTN), which initially acquires spatial embeddings per event-frame. In order to better adopt the VTN for the sparse and fine-grained nature of event data, we design Event-Contrastive Loss ($mathcalL_EC$) and event-specific augmentations.

• Dynamic Perceiver for Efficient Visual Recognition [87.08210214417309]
  We propose Dynamic Perceiver (Dyn-Perceiver) to decouple the feature extraction procedure and the early classification task. A feature branch serves to extract image features, while a classification branch processes a latent code assigned for classification tasks. Early exits are placed exclusively within the classification branch, thus eliminating the need for linear separability in low-level features.
