- 适合追求高精度且低成本标注的地理定位研究者。
跨视角物体地理定位(CVOGL)旨在通过参考卫星地图,从地面或无人机视角精准确定查询物体的地理坐标。基于分割的方法虽精度高,但需昂贵的像素级标注;而基于检测的方法成本低,但精度较差。其性能差距主要源于两点:水平边界框(HBoxes)对倾斜物体的几何拟合不佳,以及特征图缩放导致的精度下降。为此,我们提出使用旋转边界框(RBoxes)作为检测范式的自然延伸,其能更紧密贴合倾斜物体。在此基础上,我们设计了新型定位框架OSGeo,包含多尺度感知模块和方向敏感头,以精确回归RBoxes。为支持该方案,我们构建并发布了首个带有精确RBox标注的CVOGL数据集CVOGL-R。大量实验表明,OSGeo实现当前最优性能,定位精度持续匹配甚至超越领先分割方法,而标注成本降低超过一个数量级。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-View object geo-localization (CVOGL) aims to precisely determine the geographic coordinates of a query object from a ground or drone perspective by referencing a satellite map. Segmentation-based approaches offer high precision but require prohibitively expensive pixel-level annotations, whereas more economical detection-based methods suffer from lower accuracy. This performance disparity in detection is primarily caused by two factors: the poor geometric fit of Horizontal Bounding Boxes (HBoxes) for oriented objects and the degradation in precision due to feature map scaling. Motivated by these, we propose leveraging Rotated Bounding Boxes (RBoxes) as a natural extension of the detection-based paradigm. RBoxes provide a much tighter geometric fit to oriented objects. Building on this, we introduce OSGeo, a novel geo-localization framework, meticulously designed with a multi-scale perception module and an orientation-sensitive head to accurately regress RBoxes. To support this scheme, we also construct and release CVOGL-R, the first dataset with precise RBox annotations for CVOGL. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our OSGeo achieves state-of-the-art performance, consistently matching or even surpassing the accuracy of leading segmentation-based methods but with an annotation cost that is over an order of magnitude lower.
