• Abstract: Visual localization is a fundamental machine learning problem. Absolute Pose Regression (APR) trains a scene-dependent model to efficiently map an input image to the camera pose in a pre-defined scene. However, many applications have continually changing environments, where inference data at novel poses or scene conditions (weather, geometry) appear after deployment. Training APR on a fixed dataset leads to overfitting, making it fail catastrophically on challenging novel data. This work proposes Continual Domain Expansion (ConDo), which continually collects unlabeled inference data to update the deployed APR. Instead of applying standard unsupervised domain adaptation methods which are ineffective for APR, ConDo effectively learns from unlabeled data by distilling knowledge from scene-agnostic localization methods. By sampling data uniformly from historical and newly collected data, ConDo can effectively expand the generalization domain of APR. Large-scale benchmarks with various scene types are constructed to evaluate models under practical (long-term) data changes. ConDo consistently and significantly outperforms baselines across architectures, scene types, and data changes. On challenging scenes (Fig.1), it reduces the localization error by >7x (14.8m vs 1.7m). Analysis shows the robustness of ConDo against compute budgets, replay buffer sizes and teacher prediction noise. Comparing to model re-training, ConDo achieves similar performance up to 25x faster.

  We introduce an unsupervised auxiliary task of learning an implicit underlying surface representation simultaneously on source and target data. As both domains share the same latent representation, the model is forced to accommodate discrepancies between the two sources of data. Our experiments demonstrate that our method achieves a better performance than the current state of the art, both in real-to-real and synthetic-to-real scenarios.

  Unsupervised sim-to-real domain adaptation (UDA) for semantic segmentation aims to improve the real-world test performance of a model trained on simulated data. Traditional UDA often assumes that there are abundant unlabeled real-world data samples available during training for the adaptation. We explore the one-shot unsupervised sim-to-real domain adaptation (OSUDA) and generalization problem, where only one real-world data sample is available.

  M&Ms should incrementally learn from each incoming dataset and progressively update with improved functionality as time goes by. In medical scenarios, this is particularly challenging as accessing or storing past data is commonly not allowed due to data privacy. We propose a novel domain-incremental learning framework to recover past domain inputs first and then regularly replay them during model optimization.

  Person Re-Identification (ReID) across non-overlapping cameras is a challenging task. Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is a promising alternative, as it performs feature-learning adaptation from a model trained on a source to a target domain without identity-label annotation. In this paper, we propose a novel UDA-based ReID method that takes advantage of triplets of samples created by a new offline strategy.

  In this work, a general architecture is first formulated probabilistically to extract domain invariant feature through multi-domain image translation. And then a novel gradient-weighted similarity activation mapping loss (Grad-SAM) is incorporated for finer localization with high accuracy.

Our performance is on par with or even outperforms the state-of-the-art image-based localization baselines in medium or high precision.

• Keep it Simple: Image Statistics Matching for Domain Adaptation [0.0]
  Domain Adaptation (DA) is a technique to maintain detection accuracy when only unlabeled images are available of the target domain. Recent state-of-the-art methods try to reduce the domain gap using an adversarial training strategy. We propose to align either color histograms or mean and covariance of the source images towards the target domain. In comparison to recent methods, we achieve state-of-the-art performance using a much simpler procedure for the training.
