In ICRA 2022, we are exciting to see great success for our Round 1 General Place Recognition (GPR) Challenge. In total, we got 168 competitior around the world, and received 529 submissions in just 24 days. And during ICRA, we also have great talks from:
1. Dr. Yimin Zhang (Intel), "Knowledge based self-supervised continual learning",
2. Prof. Luca Carlone (MIT), "Improving place recognition via high-level scene understanding and 3D scene graphs",
3. Prof. Michael Milford (QUT), "Time to Reflect: Why Are We Doing Place Recognition, and is How We Are Doing it the Right Way?"
4. Prof. Junyan Zhu (CMU), "Conditional Image Synthesis, Image-to-Image Translation",
5. Dr. Ji Zhang (CMU), "How can Autonomy Help: Autonomous Navigation Development Environment",
6. and Prof. Sebastian Scherer (CMU), "MetaSLAM: Towards Long-term Autonomy".
Additionally, we also have impressive summary on our top competitors.
For City-scale Localization Track:
1. Dr. Lineng Chen, Dr. Jin Xie, and Dr. Mingwu Ren, "Ensemble Learning",
2. Dr. Kavisha Vidanapathirana, "LoGG3D-Net: Locally Guided Global Descriptor Learning for 3D Place Recognition".
3. Prof. Jacek Komorowski, "MinkLoc3Dv2: Improving Point Cloud Based Place Recognition with Ranking-based Loss and Large Batch Training"
For UAV visual Terrain Localization Track:
1. Haiyi Liu, Minghao Liu, "Simple Solution Based on NetVlad",
2. Dr. Guangyan Chen, and Dr. Linzhe Shi, "NetVLAD with double triplet loss".
