ACE-G: Improving Generalization of Scene Coordinate Regression Through Query Pre-Training

ICCV 2025poster

Scene coordinate regression (SCR) has established itself as a promising learning-based approach to visual relocalization. After mere minutes of scene-specific training, SCR models estimate camera poses of query images with high accuracy. Still, SCR methods fall short of the generalization capabiliti…

Conditional Variational Autoencoders for Probabilistic Pose Regression

IROS 2024poster

Robots rely on visual relocalization to estimate their pose from camera images when they lose track. One of the challenges in visual relocalization is repetitive structures in the operation environment of the robot. This calls for probabilistic methods that support multiple hypotheses for robot’s po…

A Probabilistic Framework for Visual Localization in Ambiguous Scenes

ICRA 2023poster

Visual localization allows autonomous robots to relocalize when losing track of their pose by matching their current observation with past ones. However, ambiguous scenes pose a challenge for such systems, as repetitive structures can be viewed from many distinct, equally likely camera poses, which…

SDFEst: Categorical Pose and Shape Estimation of Objects From RGB-D Using Signed Distance Fields

RA-L 2022

Rich geometric understanding of the world is an important component of many robotic applications such as planning and manipulation. In this paper, we present a modular pipeline for pose and shape estimation of objects from RGB-D images given their category. The core of our method is a generative sha

Bench-MR: A Motion Planning Benchmark for Wheeled Mobile Robots

RA-L 2021

Planning smooth and energy-efficient paths for wheeled mobile robots is a central task for applications ranging from autonomous driving to service and intralogistic robotics. Over the past decades, several sampling-based motion-planning algorithms, extend functions and post-smoothing algorithms have
