- Abstract: Adding fiducial markers to a scene is a well-known strategy for making visual
localization algorithms more robust. Traditionally, these marker locations are
selected by humans who are familiar with visual localization techniques. This
paper explores the problem of automatic marker placement within a scene.
Specifically, given a predetermined set of markers and a scene model, we
compute optimized marker positions within the scene that can improve accuracy
in visual localization. Our main contribution is a novel framework for modeling
camera localizability that incorporates both natural scene features and
artificial fiducial markers added to the scene. We present optimized marker
placement (OMP), a greedy algorithm that is based on the camera localizability
framework. We have also designed a simulation framework for testing marker
placement algorithms on 3D models and images generated from synthetic scenes.
We have evaluated OMP within this testbed and demonstrate an improvement in the
localization rate by up to 20 percent on three different scenes.

FocusTune is a focus-guided sampling technique to improve the performance of visual localization algorithms.
We demonstrate that FocusTune both improves or matches state-of-the-art performance whilst keeping ACE's appealing low storage and compute requirements.
This combination of high performance and low compute and storage requirements is particularly promising for applications in areas like mobile robotics and augmented reality.

Visual (re)localization addresses the problem of estimating the 6-DoF camera pose of a query image captured in a known scene.
Recent advances in structure-based localization solve this problem by memorizing the mapping from image pixels to scene coordinates.
We propose a scene region classification approach to achieve fast and effective scene memorization with few-shot images.

We explore a more flexible alternative based on dense 3D meshes that does not require features matching between database images to build the scene representation.
Surprisingly competitive results can be obtained when extracting features on renderings of these meshes, without any neural rendering stage.
Our results show that dense 3D model-based representations are a promising alternative to existing representations and point to interesting and challenging directions for future research.
