DASGIL: Domain Adaptation for Semantic and Geometric-aware Image-based Localization
2020
Long-Term visual localization under changing environments is a challenging problem in autonomous driving and mobile robotics due to season, illumination variance, etc . Image retrieval for localization is an efficient and effective solution to the problem. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task architecture to fuse the geometric and semantic information into the multi-scale latent embedding representation for visual place recognition. To use the high-quality ground truths without any human effort, the effective multi-scale feature discriminator is proposed for adversarial training to achieve the domain adaptation from synthetic virtual KITTI dataset to real-world KITTI dataset. The proposed approach is validated on the Extended CMU-Seasons dataset and Oxford RobotCar dataset through a series of crucial comparison experiments, where our performance outperforms state-of-the-art baselines for retrieval-based localization and large-scale place recognition under the challenging environment.
