DSC: Deep Scan Context Descriptor for Large-Scale Place Recognition

2021-11-27 · Jiafeng Cui, Tengfei Huang, Yingfeng Cai, Junqiao Zhao, Lu Xiong, Zhuoping Yu

LiDAR-based place recognition is an essential and challenging task both in loop closure detection and global relocalization. We propose Deep Scan Context (DSC), a general and discriminative global descriptor that captures the relationship among segments of a point cloud. Unlike previous methods that utilize either semantics or a sequence of adjacent point clouds for better place recognition, we only use raw point clouds to get competitive results. Concretely, we first segment the point cloud egocentrically to acquire centroids and eigenvalues of the segments. Then, we introduce a graph neural network to aggregate these features into an embedding representation. Extensive experiments conducted on the KITTI dataset show that DSC is robust to scene variants and outperforms existing methods.

SSC: Semantic Scan Context for Large-Scale Place Recognition

2021-07-01 · Lin Li, Xin Kong, Xiangrui Zhao, Tianxin Huang 외

Place recognition gives a SLAM system the ability to correct cumulative errors. Unlike images that contain rich texture features, point clouds are almost pure geometric information which makes place recognition based on …
