Abstract

A method for training, using a plurality of training images with corresponding six degrees of freedom camera pose for a given environment and a plurality of reference images, each reference image depicting an object-of-interest in the given environment and having a corresponding two-dimensional to three-dimensional correspondence for the given environment, a neural network to provide visual localization by: for each training image, detecting and segmenting object-of-interest in the training image; generating a set of two-dimensional to two-dimensional matches between the detected and segmented objects-of-interest and corresponding reference images; generating a set of two-dimensional to three-dimensional matches from the generated set of two-dimensional to two-dimensional matches and the two-dimensional to three-dimensional correspondences corresponding to the reference images; and determining localization, for each training image, by solving a perspective-n-point problem using the generated set of two-dimensional to three-dimensional matches.
