单神经网络实现无先验3自由度车辆视觉定位,精度高且可量化置信度。
VVLoc: Prior-free 3-DoF Vehicle Visual Localization
- 用单模型统一解决拓扑与度量定位,基于多摄像头输入
- 在公开与自采数据集上均达领先精度,支持置信度输出
- 训练仅需图像对与真值位姿,无需额外语义或姿态先验
定位是自动驾驶的关键技术,包括拓扑定位(识别最相似的地图关键帧)和度量定位(提供精确空间坐标)。传统方法通常独立处理这两项任务,依赖单目相机,常需额外的3D语义或姿态先验,且缺乏定位结果置信度的量化机制,限制了其在工业场景中的应用。本文提出VVLoc,一种统一管道,使用单个神经网络通过多摄像头系统同时实现拓扑与度量车辆定位。VVLoc首先评估视觉观测间的地理接近性,再通过匹配策略估计相对度量位姿,并提供置信度衡量。此外,其训练过程高效,仅需图像对及对应真值位姿,无需复杂附加数据。我们在公开数据集和更具挑战性的自采数据集上评估了VVLoc,证明其在多种定位任务中均能实现顶尖精度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Localization is a critical technology in autonomous driving, encompassing both topological localization, which identifies the most similar map keyframe to the current observation, and metric localization, which provides precise spatial coordinates. Conventional methods typically address these tasks independently, rely on single-camera setups, and often require additional 3D semantic or pose priors, while lacking mechanisms to quantify the confidence of localization results, making them less feasible for real industrial applications. In this paper, we propose VVLoc, a unified pipeline that employs a single neural network to concurrently achieve topological and metric vehicle localization using multi-camera system. VVLoc first evaluates the geo-proximity between visual observations, then estimates their relative metric poses using a matching strategy, while also providing a confidence measure. Additionally, the training process for VVLoc is highly efficient, requiring only pairs of visual data and corresponding ground-truth poses, eliminating the need for complex supplementary data. We evaluate VVLoc not only on the publicly available datasets, but also on a more challenging self-collected dataset, demonstrating its ability to deliver state-of-the-art localization accuracy across a wide range of localization tasks.
