    Long-term visual localization in large scale urban environments exploiting street level imagery
    (Copernicus, 2020) Meyer, Jonas; Rettenmund, Daniel; Nebiker, Stephan [in: ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences]
    In this paper, we present our approach for robust long-term visual localization in large scale urban environments exploiting street level imagery. Our approach consists of a 2D-image based localization using image retrieval (NetVLAD) to select reference images. This is followed by a 3D-structure based localization with a robust image matcher (DenseSfM) for accurate pose estimation. This visual localization approach is evaluated by means of the ‘Sun’ subset of the RobotCar seasons dataset, which is part of the Visual Localization benchmark. As the results on the RobotCar benchmark dataset are nearly on par with the top ranked approaches, we focused our investigations on reproducibility and performance with own data. For this purpose, we created a dataset with street-level imagery. In order to have independent reference and query images, we used a road-based and a tram-based mapping campaign with a time difference of four years. The approximately 90% successfully oriented images of both datasets are a good indicator for the robustness of our approach. With about 50% success rate, every second image could be localized with a position accuracy better than 0.25 m and a rotation accuracy better than 2°.

    Accurate visual localization in outdoor and indoor environments exploiting 3D image spaces as spatial reference
    (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2018) Rettenmund, Daniel; Fehr, Markus; Cavegn, Stefan; Nebiker, Stephan [in: The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences]
    In this paper, we present a method for visual localization and pose estimation based on 3D image spaces. The method works in indoor and outdoor environments and does not require the presence of control points or markers. The method is evaluated with different sensors in an outdoor and an indoor test field. The results of our research show the viability of single image localization with absolute position accuracies at the decimetre level for outdoor environments and 5 cm or better for indoor environments. However, the evaluation also revealed a number of limitations of single image visual localization in real-world environments. Some of them could be addressed by an alternative AR-based localization approach, which we also present and compare in this paper. We then discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the two approaches and show possibilities for combining them to obtain accurate and robust visual localization in an absolute coordinate frame.
