• Abstract summary: SPVLoc is a global indoor localization method that accurately determines the 6D camera pose of a query image. Our approach employs a novel matching procedure to localize the perspective camera's viewport. It achieves superior localization accuracy compared to the state of the art methods and also estimates more degrees of freedom of the camera pose.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present SPVLoc, a global indoor localization method that accurately determines the six-dimensional (6D) camera pose of a query image and requires minimal scene-specific prior knowledge and no scene-specific training. Our approach employs a novel matching procedure to localize the perspective camera's viewport, given as an RGB image, within a set of panoramic semantic layout representations of the indoor environment. The panoramas are rendered from an untextured 3D reference model, which only comprises approximate structural information about room shapes, along with door and window annotations. We demonstrate that a straightforward convolutional network structure can successfully achieve image-to-panorama and ultimately image-to-model matching. Through a viewport classification score, we rank reference panoramas and select the best match for the query image. Then, a 6D relative pose is estimated between the chosen panorama and query image. Our experiments demonstrate that this approach not only efficiently bridges the domain gap but also generalizes well to previously unseen scenes that are not part of the training data. Moreover, it achieves superior localization accuracy compared to the state of the art methods and also estimates more degrees of freedom of the camera pose.

  Camera relocalization methods range from dense image alignment to direct camera pose regression from a query image. We propose a novel approach that leverages a globally sparse yet locally dense 3D representation of 2D features. By tracking and triangulating landmarks over a sequence of frames, we construct a sparse voxel map optimized to render image patch descriptors observed during tracking.

  Re-localizing a camera from a single image in a previously mapped area is vital for many computer vision applications in robotics and augmented/virtual reality. We propose to leverage a novel network of relative spatial and temporal geometric constraints to guide the training of a Deep Network for localization. We show that our method, through these constraints, is capable of learning to localize when little or very sparse ground-truth 3D coordinates are available.

  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.
