Boosting Performance of a Baseline Visual Place Recognition Technique by Predicting the Maximally Complementary Technique

no code implementations14 Oct 2022 Connor Malone, Stephen Hausler, Tobias Fischer, Michael Milford

One recent promising approach to the Visual Place Recognition (VPR) problem has been to fuse the place recognition estimates of multiple complementary VPR techniques using methods such as SRAL and multi-process fusion.

Unsupervised Complementary-aware Multi-process Fusion for Visual Place Recognition

no code implementations9 Dec 2021 Stephen Hausler, Tobias Fischer, Michael Milford

A recent approach to the Visual Place Recognition (VPR) problem has been to fuse the place recognition estimates of multiple complementary VPR techniques simultaneously.

Patch-NetVLAD: Multi-Scale Fusion of Locally-Global Descriptors for Place Recognition

3 code implementations CVPR 2021 Stephen Hausler, Sourav Garg, Ming Xu, Michael Milford, Tobias Fischer

Visual Place Recognition is a challenging task for robotics and autonomous systems, which must deal with the twin problems of appearance and viewpoint change in an always changing world.

Hierarchical Multi-Process Fusion for Visual Place Recognition

1 code implementation28 Jan 2020 Stephen Hausler, Michael Milford

In this paper we present a novel, hierarchical localization system that explicitly benefits from three varying characteristics of localization techniques: the distribution of their localization hypotheses, their appearance- and viewpoint-invariant properties, and the resulting differences in where in an environment each system works well and fails.

Filter Early, Match Late: Improving Network-Based Visual Place Recognition

no code implementations21 Jun 2019 Stephen Hausler, Adam Jacobson, Michael Milford

Our key innovation is to filter the feature maps in an early convolutional layer, but then continue to run the network and extract a feature vector using a later layer in the same network.

Multi-Process Fusion: Visual Place Recognition Using Multiple Image Processing Methods

1 code implementation8 Mar 2019 Stephen Hausler, Adam Jacobson, Michael Milford

In this paper we address these shortcomings with a novel "multi-sensor" fusion approach applied to multiple image processing methods for a single visual image stream, combined with a dynamic sequence matching length technique and an automatic processing method weighting scheme.

Look No Deeper: Recognizing Places from Opposing Viewpoints under Varying Scene Appearance using Single-View Depth Estimation

1 code implementation20 Feb 2019 Sourav Garg, Madhu Babu V, Thanuja Dharmasiri, Stephen Hausler, Niko Suenderhauf, Swagat Kumar, Tom Drummond, Michael Milford

Visual place recognition (VPR) - the act of recognizing a familiar visual place - becomes difficult when there is extreme environmental appearance change or viewpoint change.
