Data-efficient Large Scale Place Recognition with Graded Similarity Supervision

1 code implementation CVPR 2023 Maria Leyva-Vallina, Nicola Strisciuglio, Nicolai Petkov

Motivated by the fact that two images of the same place only partially share visual cues due to camera pose differences, we deploy an automatic re-annotation strategy to re-label VPR datasets.

Generalized Contrastive Optimization of Siamese Networks for Place Recognition

1 code implementation11 Mar 2021 María Leyva-Vallina, Nicola Strisciuglio, Nicolai Petkov

We propose a Generalized Contrastive loss (GCL) function that relies on image similarity as a continuous measure, and use it to train a siamese CNN.
