On the Estimation of Image-matching Uncertainty in Visual Place Recognition

no code implementations31 Mar 2024 Mubariz Zaffar, Liangliang Nan, Julian F. P. Kooij

In Visual Place Recognition (VPR) the pose of a query image is estimated by comparing the image to a map of reference images with known reference poses.

CoPR: Towards Accurate Visual Localization With Continuous Place-descriptor Regression

no code implementations14 Apr 2023 Mubariz Zaffar, Liangliang Nan, Julian Francisco Pieter Kooij

Firstly, the reference images for VPR are only available at sparse poses in a map, which enforces an upper bound on the maximum achievable localization accuracy through VPR.
