• Title: 3DoF Localization from a Single Image and an Object Map: the Flatlandia Problem and Dataset
• Authors: Matteo Toso, Matteo Taiana, Stuart James and Alessio Del Bue
• Abstract summary: We propose Flatlandia, a novel visual localization challenge. We investigate whether it is possible to localize a visual query by comparing the layout of its common objects detected against the known spatial layout of objects in the map. For each, we propose initial baseline models and compare them against state-of-the-art 6DoF and 3DoF methods.

• Abstract: Efficient visual localization is crucial to many applications, such as large-scale deployment of autonomous agents and augmented reality. Traditional visual localization, while achieving remarkable accuracy, relies on extensive 3D models of the scene or large collections of geolocalized images, which are often inefficient to store and to scale to novel environments. In contrast, humans orient themselves using very abstract 2D maps, using the location of clearly identifiable landmarks. Drawing on this and on the success of recent works that explored localization on 2D abstract maps, we propose Flatlandia, a novel visual localization challenge. With Flatlandia, we investigate whether it is possible to localize a visual query by comparing the layout of its common objects detected against the known spatial layout of objects in the map. We formalize the challenge as two tasks at different levels of accuracy to investigate the problem and its possible limitations; for each, we propose initial baseline models and compare them against state-of-the-art 6DoF and 3DoF methods. Code and dataset are publicly available at github.com/IIT-PAVIS/Flatlandia.

We propose GLACE, which integrates pre-trained global and local encodings and enables SCR to scale to large scenes with only a single small-sized network. Our method achieves state-of-the-art results on large-scale scenes with a low-map-size model.
