Abstract

A method for localization performed by an agent includes receiving a query image of a current environment of the agent captured by a sensor integrated with the agent. The method also includes receiving a target image comprising a first set of keypoints matching a second set of keypoints of the query image. The first set of keypoints may be generated based on a task specified for the agent. The method still further includes determining a current location based on the target image.
