摘要:

尽管定位和视觉地点识别(VPR)技术在绝对性能方面已取得显著进展,但在将这些系统转化为应用的过程中,越来越清楚地表明,完整性和可预测性等其他能力同样重要,尤其是对于安全关键或操作关键的自主系统。在本研究中,我们提出了一种新的、无需训练的方法来预测定位估计的可能质量,并提出了一种新方法,利用这些预测来偏置序列匹配过程,从而在朴素序列匹配方法的基础上产生额外的性能增益。我们的组合系统轻量级、实时运行,并且与底层VPR技术无关。通过在四个数据集和三种VPR技术上的大量实验,我们证明我们的系统提高了精确率性能,尤其是在高精确率/低召回率的工作点上。我们还进行了消融实验和分析,分别确定了质量预测组件和加权序列匹配组件对性能的贡献,以及预测系统质量与加权序列匹配器收益之间的关系。

英文摘要:

While substantial progress has been made in the absolute performance of localization and Visual Place Recognition (VPR) techniques, it is becoming increasingly clear from translating these systems into applications that other capabilities like integrity and predictability are just as important, especially for safety- or operationally-critical autonomous systems. In this research we present a new, training-free approach to predicting the likely quality of localization estimates, and a novel method for using these predictions to bias a sequence-matching process to produce additional performance gains beyond that of a naive sequence matching approach. Our combined system is lightweight, runs in real-time and is agnostic to the underlying VPR technique. On extensive experiments across four datasets and three VPR techniques, we demonstrate our system improves precision performance, especially at the high-precision/low-recall operating point. We also present ablation and analysis identifying the performance contributions of the prediction and weighted sequence matching components in isolation, and the relationship between the quality of the prediction system and the benefits of the weighted sequential matcher.
