Unsupervised Complementary-aware Multi-process Fusion for Visual Place Recognition
A recent approach to the Visual Place Recognition (VPR) problem has been to fuse the place recognition estimates of multiple complementary VPR techniques simultaneously. However, selecting the optimal set of techniques to use in a specific deployment environment a-priori is a difficult and unresolved challenge. Further, to the best of our knowledge, no method exists which can select a set of techniques on a frame-by-frame basis in response to image-to-image variations. In this work, we propose an unsupervised algorithm that finds the most robust set of VPR techniques to use in the current deployment environment, on a frame-by-frame basis. The selection of techniques is determined by an analysis of the similarity scores between the current query image and the collection of database images and does not require ground-truth information. We demonstrate our approach on a wide variety of datasets and VPR techniques and show that the proposed dynamic multi-process fusion (Dyn-MPF) has superior VPR performance compared to a variety of challenging competitive methods, some of which are given an unfair advantage through access to the ground-truth information.

MAUGIF: Mechanism-Aware Unsupervised General Image Fusion via Dual Cross-Image Autoencoders
Image fusion aims to integrate structural and complementary information from multi-source images. However, existing fusion methods are often either highly task-specific, or general frameworks that apply uniform strategie…
Ordering Matters: Rank-Aware Selective Fusion for Blended Emotion Recognition
Blended emotion recognition is challenging because emotions are often expressed as mixtures of subtle and overlapping multimodal cues rather than a single dominant signal. We propose a rank-aware multi-encoder framework …
