• Abstract: Relocalization is the basis of map-based localization algorithms. Camera and LiDAR map-based methods are pervasive since their robustness under different scenarios. Generally, mapping and localization using the same sensor have better accuracy since matching features between the same type of data is easier. However, due to the camera's lack of 3D information and the high cost of LiDAR, cross-media methods are developing, which combined live image data and Lidar map. Although matching features between different media is challenging, we believe cross-media is the tendency for AV relocalization since its low cost and accuracy can be comparable to the same-sensor-based methods. In this paper, we propose CMSG, a novel cross-media algorithm for AV relocalization tasks. Semantic features are utilized for better interpretation the correlation between point clouds and image features. What's more, abstracted semantic graph nodes are introduced, and a graph network architecture is integrated to better extract the similarity of semantic features. Validation experiments are conducted on the KITTI odometry dataset. Our results show that CMSG can have comparable or even better accuracy compared to current single-sensor-based methods at a speed of 25 FPS on NVIDIA 1080 Ti GPU.

  Learnable matchers often underperform when there exists only small regions of co-visibility between image pairs. We propose LFM-3D, a Learnable Feature Matching framework that uses models based on graph neural networks. We show that the resulting improved correspondences lead to much higher relative posing accuracy for in-the-wild image pairs.

  This work addresses visual cross-view metric localization for outdoor robotics. Given a ground-level color image and a satellite patch that contains the local surroundings, the task is to identify the location of the ground camera within the satellite patch. We devise a novel network architecture with denser satellite descriptors, similarity matching at the bottleneck, and a dense spatial distribution as output to capture multi-modal localization ambiguities.

  Video-based person re-identification (Re-ID) aims at matching the video tracklets with cropped video frames for identifying the pedestrians under different cameras. There exists severe spatial and temporal misalignment for those cropped tracklets due to the imperfect detection and tracking results generated with obsolete methods. We present a simple re-Detect and Link (DL) module which can effectively reduce those unexpected noise through applying the deep learning-based detection and tracking on the cropped tracklets.
