This paper focuses on a highly practical scenario: how to continue benefiting from the advantages of multi-modal image fusion under harsh conditions when only visible imaging sensors are available. To achieve this goal, we propose a novel concept of single image fusion, which extends conventional da
Image-to-point cloud matching (2D-3D matching) establishes accurate correspondences between image keypoints and 3D points for 6-DoF camera pose estimation. Existing methods either suffer from poor generalization due to scene-specific coordinate regression requiring per-scene retraining, or incur hig
Compared to images, videos better reflect real-world acquisition and possess valuable temporal cues. However, existing multi-sensor fusion research predominantly integrates complementary context from multiple images rather than videos due to the scarcity of large-scale multi-sensor video datasets, l
This prospective study proposes CoMatch, a novel semi-dense image matcher with dynamic covisibility awareness and bilateral subpixel accuracy. Firstly, observing that modeling context interaction over the entire coarse feature map elicits highly redundant computation due to the neighboring represent…
As a long-range prior, motion consensus essentially forces the overall spatial transformation between a pair of images to be smooth and consistent, which is naturally well-suited for two-view correspondence learning. However, such precious property remains under-explored by most existing studies due…
Image feature matching is a cardinal problem in computer vision, aiming to establish accurate correspondences between two-view images. Existing methods are constrained by the performance of feature extractors and struggle to capture local information affected by sparse texture or occlusions. Recogni…
Two-view correspondence learning has recently focused on considering the coherence and smoothness of the motion field between an image pair. Dominant schemes include controlling the complexity of the field function with regularization or smoothing the field with local filters but the former suffers…
Local context capturing has become the core factor for achieving leading performance in two-view correspondence learning. Recent advances have devised various local context extractors whereas typically adopting explicit neighborhood relation modeling that is restricted and inflexible. To address thi…
Loop closure detection (LCD), which aims to deal with the drift emerging when robots travel around the route, plays a key role in a simultaneous localization and mapping system. Unlike most current methods which focus on seeking an appropriate representation of images, we propose a novel two-stage p…
