• Authors: Tianyi Hu, Monika Kwiatkowski, Simon Matern, Olaf Hellwich
• Abstract summary: We present a method for landmark retrieval that utilizes global and local features. A Siamese network is used for global feature extraction and metric learning, which gives an initial ranking of the landmark search. We utilize the extracted feature maps from the Siamese architecture as local descriptors, the search results are then further refined using a cosine similarity between local descriptors.

• Abstract: In this work, we present a method for landmark retrieval that utilizes global and local features. A Siamese network is used for global feature extraction and metric learning, which gives an initial ranking of the landmark search. We utilize the extracted feature maps from the Siamese architecture as local descriptors, the search results are then further refined using a cosine similarity between local descriptors. We conduct a deeper analysis of the Google Landmark Dataset, which is used for evaluation, and augment the dataset to handle various intra-class variances. Furthermore, we conduct several experiments to compare the effects of transfer learning and metric learning, as well as experiments using other local descriptors. We show that a re-ranking using local features can improve the search results. We believe that the proposed local feature extraction using cosine similarity is a simple approach that can be extended to many other retrieval tasks.

  We propose a transformer-based deep homography estimation (DHE) network. It takes the dense feature map extracted by a backbone network as input and fits homography for fast and learnable geometric verification. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that our method can outperform several state-of-the-art methods.

  We propose a new local contrastive feature learning framework (LoCL) In order to create a niche for local learning, we use feature correlations to create a maximum-spanning tree, and break the tree into feature subsets. Convolutional learning of the features is used to learn latent feature space, regulated by contrastive and reconstruction losses.

  Keypoint detection and description is fundamental yet important in many vision applications. Most existing methods use detect-then-describe or detect-and-describe strategy to learn local features without considering their context information. In this paper, we focus on the fusion of low-level textual information and high-level semantic context information to improve the discrimitiveness of local features.
