Localization is an essential capability for mobile robots. A rapidly growing field of research in
this area is Visual Place Recognition (VPR), which is the ability to recognize previously seen …

Machine learning has long since become a keystone technology, accelerating science and
applications in a broad range of domains. Consequently, the notion of applying learning …

Abstract 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 …

Visual place recognition has attracted widespread research interest in multiple fields such
as computer vision and robotics. Recently, researchers have employed advanced deep …

Where am I? This is one of the most critical questions that any intelligent system should
answer to decide whether it navigates to a previously visited area. This problem has long …

In recent years visual place recognition (VPR), ie, the problem of recognizing the location of
images, has received considerable attention from multiple research communities, spanning …

Abstract Visual Place Recognition is a task that aims to predict the place of an image (called
query) based solely on its visual features. This is typically done through image retrieval …

For robots to navigate and interact more richly with the world around them, they will likely
require a deeper understanding of the world in which they operate. In robotics and related …

Visual localization is a key step in many robotics pipelines, allowing the robot to
(approximately) determine its position and orientation in the world. An efficient and scalable …

Abstract Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is often characterized as being able to recognize
the same place despite significant changes in appearance and viewpoint. VPR is a key …
