Image matching serves as a core component for UAV localization guided by satellite imagery. However, this task remains highly challenging due to the extreme viewpoint discrepancies between low-altitude UAV images and nadir-view satellite maps. Existing datasets primarily focus on ground-level or hig
Modern video codecs and learning-based approaches struggle for semantic reconstruction at extremely low bit-rates due to reliance on low-level spatiotemporal redundancies. Generative models, especially diffusion models, offer a new paradigm for video compression by leveraging high-level semantic und…
We present LoD-Loc v3, a novel method for generalized aerial visual localization in dense urban environments. While prior work LoD-Loc v2 achieves localization through semantic building silhouette alignment with low-detail city models, it suffers from two key limitations: poor cross-scene generaliza
Domain Generalization Semantic Segmentation (DGSS) in spectral remote sensing is severely challenged by spectral shifts across diverse acquisition conditions, which cause significant performance degradation for models deployed in unseen domains. While fine-tuning foundation models is a promising dir
Visual geo-localization without GPS prior remains a significant challenge for UAV navigation. Traditional retrievalbased methods suffer from scale and rotation variances between UAV images and satellite maps, and their inference speed degrades with increasing map size. To address these challenges, w
We present PiLoT, a unified framework that tackles UAV-based ego and target geo-localization. Conventional approaches rely on decoupled pipelines that fuse GNSS and Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) for ego-pose estimation, and active sensors like laser rangefinders for target localization. However, th
We propose a novel method for aerial visual localization over low Level-of-Detail (LoD) city models. Previous wireframe-alignment-based method LoD-Loc [99] has shown promising localization results leveraging LoD models. However, LoD-Loc mainly relies on high-LoD (LoD3 or LoD2) city models, but the m…
Acquiring and utilizing accurate channel state information (CSI) is crucial for realizing the benefits of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. Current CSI feedback approaches improve precision by employing advanced deep-learning methods to learn representative CSI features for a…
Thermal infrared imaging enables a non-invasive measurement of the surface temperature of objects with all-weather applicability. Leveraging such techniques for 3D reconstruction can accurately reflect the temperature distribution of a scene, thereby supporting applications such as building monitori…
We propose a new method named LoD-Loc for visual localization in the air. Unlike existing localization algorithms, LoD-Loc does not rely on complex 3D representations and can estimate the pose of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using a Level-of-Detail (LoD) 3D map. LoD-Loc mainly achieves this goal…
This paper solves the problem of real-time 6-DoF object tracking from an RGB video. Prior optimization-based methods optimize the object pose by aligning the projected model to the image based on handcrafted features, which are prone to suboptimal solutions. Recent learning-based methods use neural…
Despite the remarkable advances in image matching and pose estimation, image-based localization of a camera in a temporally-varying outdoor environment is still a challenging problem due to huge appearance disparity between query and reference images caused by illumination, seasonal and structural c…
Images captured by sheye lenses violate the pinhole camera assumption and suer from distortions. Rectication of sheye images is therefore a crucial preprocessing step for many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end multi-context collaborative deep network for removing…
In this paper, we propose a novel MoNet model to deeply exploit motion cues for boosting video object segmentation performance from two aspects, i.e., frame representation learning and segmentation refinement. Concretely, MoNet exploits computed motion cue (i.e., optical flow) to reinforce the repre…
Fast abnormal events detection in video is important for intelligent analysis of video. This paper proposes a fast anomaly detection algorithm based on sparse optical flow.
