• Abstract summary: CyberLoc is an image-based visual localization pipeline for robust and accurate long-term estimation under challenging conditions. A mapping module is applied to build accurate 3D maps of a scene, one map for each reference sequence if there exist multiple sequences under different conditions. A single-image-based localization pipeline is performed to estimate 6-DoF camera poses for each query image, one for each 3D map.

• Abstract: This technical report introduces CyberLoc, an image-based visual localization pipeline for robust and accurate long-term pose estimation under challenging conditions. The proposed method comprises four modules connected in a sequence. First, a mapping module is applied to build accurate 3D maps of the scene, one map for each reference sequence if there exist multiple reference sequences under different conditions. Second, a single-image-based localization pipeline (retrieval--matching--PnP) is performed to estimate 6-DoF camera poses for each query image, one for each 3D map. Third, a consensus set maximization module is proposed to filter out outlier 6-DoF camera poses, and outputs one 6-DoF camera pose for a query. Finally, a robust pose refinement module is proposed to optimize 6-DoF query poses, taking candidate global 6-DoF camera poses and their corresponding global 2D-3D matches, sparse 2D-2D feature matches between consecutive query images and SLAM poses of the query sequence as input. Experiments on the 4seasons dataset show that our method achieves high accuracy and robustness. In particular, our approach wins the localization challenge of ECCV 2022 workshop on Map-based Localization for Autonomous Driving (MLAD-ECCV2022).

  We present a new framework named Cas6D for few-shot 6DoF pose estimation that is generalizable and uses only RGB images. To address the false positives of target object detection in the extreme few-shot setting, our framework utilizes a self-supervised pre-trained ViT to learn robust feature representations. Experimental results on the LINEMOD and GenMOP datasets demonstrate that Cas6D outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 9.2% and 3.8% accuracy (Proj-5) under the 32-shot setting.

Cross-layer consistencies that align correspondences, self-occlusion and 6D pose, we can further improve accuracy and robustness.

  We describe a Deep-Geometric Localizer that is able to estimate the full 6 Degree of Freedom (DoF) global pose of the camera from a single image. Our method divorces the mapping and the localization algorithms (stereo and mono) and allows accurate 6 DoF pose estimation in a previously mapped environment. With potential VR/AR and localization applications in single camera devices such as mobile phones and drones, our hybrid algorithm compares favourably with the fully Deep-Learning based Pose-Net.
