Learned Contextual Feature Reweighting for Image Geo-Localization
We address the problem of large scale image geo-localization where the location of an image is estimated by identifying geo-tagged reference images depicting the same place. We propose a novel model for learning image representations that integrates context-aware feature reweighting in order to effectively focus on regions that positively contribute to geo-localization. In particular, we introduce a Contextual Reweighting Network (CRN) that predicts the importance of each region in the feature map based on the image context. Our model is learned end-to-end for the image geo-localization task, and requires no annotation other than image geo-tags for training. In experimental results, the proposed approach significantly outperforms the previous state-of-the-art on the standard geo-localization benchmark datasets. We also demonstrate that our CRN discovers task-relevant contexts without any additional supervision.

Ground-to-Aerial Image Geo-Localization With a Hard Exemplar Reweighting Triplet Loss
The task of ground-to-aerial image geo-localization can be achieved by matching a ground view query image to a reference database of aerial/satellite images. It is highly challenging due to the dramatic viewpoint changes…

Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) between drone and satellite imagery remains challenging due to severe viewpoint gaps and the presence of hard negatives, which are visually similar but geographically mismatched samples…
A Compact Hybrid Convolution--Frequency State Space Network for Learned Image Compression
Learned image compression (LIC) has recently benefited from Transformer- and state space models (SSM)- based backbones for modeling long-range dependencies. However, the former typically incurs quadratic complexity, wher…
