• Title: Learning Compact Channel Correlation Representation for LiDAR Place Recognition
• Authors: Saimunur Rahman, Peyman Moghadam,
• Abstract summary: We present a novel approach to learn compact channel correlation representation for LiDAR place recognition, called C3R. Our method partitions the feature matrix into smaller groups, computes group-wise covariance matrices, and aggregates them via a learnable aggregation strategy. We conduct extensive experiments on four large-scale, public LiDAR place recognition datasets to validate our approach's superiority in accuracy, and robustness.

• Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to learn compact channel correlation representation for LiDAR place recognition, called C3R, aimed at reducing the computational burden and dimensionality associated with traditional covariance pooling methods for place recognition tasks. Our method partitions the feature matrix into smaller groups, computes group-wise covariance matrices, and aggregates them via a learnable aggregation strategy. Matrix power normalization is applied to ensure stability. Theoretical analyses are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, including its ability to preserve permutation invariance and maintain high mutual information between the original features and the aggregated representation. We conduct extensive experiments on four large-scale, public LiDAR place recognition datasets including Oxford RobotCar, In-house, MulRan, and WildPlaces datasets to validate our approach's superiority in accuracy, and robustness. Furthermore, we provide the quantitative results of our approach for a deeper understanding. The code will be released upon acceptance.

  This paper introduces a regularized projection matrix approximation framework designed to recover cluster information from the affinity matrix. We investigate three distinct penalty functions, each specifically tailored to address bounded, positive, and sparse scenarios. Numerical experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world datasets reveal that our regularized projection matrix approximation approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in clustering performance.

  We propose a novel self-supervised asymmetric deep hashing method with a margin-scalable constraint(SADH) approach for image retrieval. SADH implements a self-supervised network to preserve semantic information in a semantic feature map and a semantic code map for the semantics of the given dataset. For the feature learning part, a new margin-scalable constraint is employed for both highly-accurate construction of pairwise correlations in the hamming space and a more discriminative hash code representation.

To alleviate the disturbance of outliers and prevent overfitting, we measure the regression term and locality-aware term together with the regularization term by the L2,1 norm.
