Current CVGL methods use camera and odometry data, typically absent in real-world scenarios. We propose GAReT, a fully transformer-based method for CVGL that does not require camera and odometry data.

• Abstract: Cross-view video geo-localization (CVGL) aims to derive GPS trajectories from street-view videos by aligning them with aerial-view images. Despite their promising performance, current CVGL methods face significant challenges. These methods use camera and odometry data, typically absent in real-world scenarios. They utilize multiple adjacent frames and various encoders for feature extraction, resulting in high computational costs. Moreover, these approaches independently predict each street-view frame's location, resulting in temporally inconsistent GPS trajectories. To address these challenges, in this work, we propose GAReT, a fully transformer-based method for CVGL that does not require camera and odometry data. We introduce GeoAdapter, a transformer-adapter module designed to efficiently aggregate image-level representations and adapt them for video inputs. Specifically, we train a transformer encoder on video frames and aerial images, then freeze the encoder to optimize the GeoAdapter module to obtain video-level representation. To address temporally inconsistent trajectories, we introduce TransRetriever, an encoder-decoder transformer model that predicts GPS locations of street-view frames by encoding top-k nearest neighbor predictions per frame and auto-regressively decoding the best neighbor based on the previous frame's predictions. Our method's effectiveness is validated through extensive experiments, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets.

We propose CATS v2 with hybrid encoders, which better leverage both local and global information.

  We propose a road network enhanced transformer-based framework, namely RNTrajRec, for trajectory recovery.

It then introduces a Sub-Graph Generation module to represent each GPS point as a sub-graph structure of the road network around the GPS point.

All three typical GTR variants achieve record-breaking performance on all datasets and metrics, with several times faster inference speed.

We find that the Vision Transformer (ViT) and the vanilla Transformer with decoders are not adequate for image matching due to their lack of image-to-image attention. We propose a new simplified decoder, which drops the full attention implementation with the softmax weighting, keeping only the query-key similarity.
