用正射影像实现无人机高精度定位,无需网络或GPS
OrthoLoC: UAV 6-DoF Localization and Calibration Using Orthographic Geodata
- 基于正射地理数据构建轻量级定位框架
- 在16,425张图像上实现最高63%的定位误差降低
- 适合资源受限场景下的无人机导航与测绘
从航拍视角实现精准视觉定位是地图构建、大范围巡检和搜救任务中的基础问题。在许多场景中,系统需在无网络或无GNSS/GPS支持下实现高精度定位,导致大型图像数据库或重型3D模型不可行。然而,针对利用正射地理数据这一轻量且日益普及的替代方案研究仍不足。为此,我们提出OrthoLoC,首个包含德国与美国16,425张无人机图像的多模态大规模数据集。该数据集缓解了无人机影像与地理数据间的域偏移问题,其配对结构可分离图像检索与特征匹配,实现定位与标定性能的独立评估。通过全面实验,我们分析了域偏移、数据分辨率及共视性对定位精度的影响。最后,提出一种名为AdHoP的精修技术,可与任意特征匹配器集成,使匹配率提升高达95%,平移误差减少最多63%。数据集与代码已开源:https://deepscenario.github.io/OrthoLoC。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate visual localization from aerial views is a fundamental problem with applications in mapping, large-area inspection, and search-and-rescue operations. In many scenarios, these systems require high-precision localization while operating with limited resources (e.g., no internet connection or GNSS/GPS support), making large image databases or heavy 3D models impractical. Surprisingly, little attention has been given to leveraging orthographic geodata as an alternative paradigm, which is lightweight and increasingly available through free releases by governmental authorities (e.g., the European Union). To fill this gap, we propose OrthoLoC, the first large-scale dataset comprising 16,425 UAV images from Germany and the United States with multiple modalities. The dataset addresses domain shifts between UAV imagery and geospatial data. Its paired structure enables fair benchmarking of existing solutions by decoupling image retrieval from feature matching, allowing isolated evaluation of localization and calibration performance. Through comprehensive evaluation, we examine the impact of domain shifts, data resolutions, and covisibility on localization accuracy. Finally, we introduce a refinement technique called AdHoP, which can be integrated with any feature matcher, improving matching by up to 95% and reducing translation error by up to 63%. The dataset and code are available at: https://deepscenario.github.io/OrthoLoC.
