Relative Distance Guided Dynamic Partition Learning for Scale-Invariant UAV-View Geo-Localization

UAV-view Geo-Localization~(UVGL) presents substantial challenges, particularly due to the disparity in visual appearance between drone-captured imagery and satellite perspectives. Existing methods usually assume consistent scaling factor across different views. Therefore, they adopt predefined partition alignment and extract viewpoint-invariant representation by constructing a variety of part-level features. However, the scaling assumption is not always hold in the real-world scenarios that variations of UAV flight state leads to the scale mismatch of cross-views, resulting in serious performance degradation. To overcome this issue, we propose a partition learning framework based on relative distance, which alleviates the dependence on scale consistency while mining fine-grained features. Specifically, we propose a distance guided dynamic partition learning strategy~(DGDPL), consisting of a square partition strategy and a distance-guided adjustment strategy. The former is utilized to extract fine-grained features and global features in a simple manner. The latter calculates the relative distance ratio between drone- and satellite-view to adjust the partition size, thereby explicitly aligning the semantic information between partition pairs. Furthermore, we propose a saliency-guided refinement strategy to refine part-level features, so as to further improve the retrieval accuracy. Extensive experiments show that our approach achieves superior geo-localization accuracy across various scale-inconsistent scenarios, and exhibits remarkable robustness against scale variations. The code will be released.
