Large scale visual place recognition with sub-linear storage growth

intellhave/SublinearEncoding 23 Oct 2018

Robotic and animal mapping systems share many of the same objectives and challenges, but differ in one key aspect: where much of the research in robotic mapping has focused on solving the data association problem, the grid cell neurons underlying maps in the mammalian brain appear to intentionally break data association by encoding many locations with a single grid cell neuron.

A Holistic Visual Place Recognition Approach using Lightweight CNNs for Significant ViewPoint and Appearance Changes

TextPlace: Visual Place Recognition and Topological Localization Through Reading Scene Texts

ziyanghong/dataset ICCV 2019

This paper proposes a novel visual place recognition algorithm, termed TextPlace, based on scene texts in the wild.

CityLearn: Diverse Real-World Environments for Sample-Efficient Navigation Policy Learning

mchancan/citylearn 10 Oct 2019

While deep reinforcement learning has shown success in solving these perception and decision-making problems in an end-to-end manner, these algorithms require large amounts of experience to learn navigation policies from high-dimensional data, which is generally impractical for real robots due to sample complexity.

A Hybrid Compact Neural Architecture for Visual Place Recognition

uditsharma29/flynet-cann 15 Oct 2019

State-of-the-art algorithms for visual place recognition, and related visual navigation systems, can be broadly split into two categories: computer-science-oriented models including deep learning or image retrieval-based techniques with minimal biological plausibility, and neuroscience-oriented dynamical networks that model temporal properties underlying spatial navigation in the brain.

Fast, Compact and Highly Scalable Visual Place Recognition through Sequence-based Matching of Overloaded Representations

oravus/CoarseHash 23 Jan 2020

Visual place recognition algorithms trade off three key characteristics: their storage footprint, their computational requirements, and their resultant performance, often expressed in terms of recall rate.

Hierarchical Multi-Process Fusion for Visual Place Recognition

Nik-V9/HEAPUtil 28 Jan 2020

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.
