• Abstract summary: This paper presents a complete pipeline for resolving ambiguities during the data association. Its core is a robust self-tuning data association that adapts the search area depending on the entropy of the measurements. We evaluate our method on real data from urban and rural scenarios around the city of Karlsruhe in Germany.

• Abstract: Localization in aerial imagery-based maps offers many advantages, such as global consistency, geo-referenced maps, and the availability of publicly accessible data. However, the landmarks that can be observed from both aerial imagery and on-board sensors is limited. This leads to ambiguities or aliasing during the data association. Building upon a highly informative representation (that allows efficient data association), this paper presents a complete pipeline for resolving these ambiguities. Its core is a robust self-tuning data association that adapts the search area depending on the entropy of the measurements. Additionally, to smooth the final result, we adjust the information matrix for the associated data as a function of the relative transform produced by the data association process. We evaluate our method on real data from urban and rural scenarios around the city of Karlsruhe in Germany. We compare state-of-the-art outlier mitigation methods with our self-tuning approach, demonstrating a considerable improvement, especially for outer-urban scenarios.

  We evaluate the utility of five state-of-the-art synthesis approaches in terms of real-world applicability. We focus on so-called trip data that encode fine granular urban movements such as GPS-tracked taxi rides. One model fails to produce data within reasonable time and another generates too many jumps to meet the requirements for map matching.

  We address the source-free domain adaptation problem, where the source pretrained model is adapted to the target domain in the absence of source data. Our method is based on the observation that target data, which might not align with the source domain classifier, still forms clear clusters. We demonstrate that this local structure can be efficiently captured by considering the local neighbors, the reciprocal neighbors, and the expanded neighborhood.

  LiDAR technology can be used to provide detailed three-dimensional elevation maps of urban and rural landscapes. To date, airborne LiDAR imaging has been predominantly confined to the environmental and archaeological domains. We consider the suitability of this data not just on its own but also as a source of data in combination with demographic features, thus providing a realistic use case for the embeddings.

  Training networks to perform metric relocalization traditionally requires accurate image correspondences. We propose a self-supervised solution, which exploits a key insight: localizing a query image within a map should yield the same absolute pose, regardless of the reference image used for registration. We evaluate our framework on synthetic and real-world data, showing our approach outperforms other supervised methods when a limited amount of ground-truth information is available.
