TLDR
An attentive local feature descriptor suitable for large-scale image retrieval, referred to as DELE (DEep Local Feature), based on convolutional neural networks, which are trained only with image-level annotations on a landmark image dataset.Abstract:
We propose an attentive local feature descriptor suitable for large-scale image retrieval, referred to as DELE (DEep Local Feature). The new feature is based on convolutional neural networks, which are trained only with image-level annotations on a landmark image dataset. To identify semantically useful local features for image retrieval, we also propose an attention mechanism for key point selection, which shares most network layers with the descriptor. This frame-work can be used for image retrieval as a drop-in replacement for other keypoint detectors and descriptors, enabling more accurate feature matching and geometric verification. Our system produces reliable confidence scores to reject false positives–in particular, it is robust against queries that have no correct match in the database. To evaluate the proposed descriptor, we introduce a new large-scale dataset, referred to as Google-Landmarks dataset, which involves challenges in both database and query such as background clutter, partial occlusion, multiple landmarks, objects in variable scales, etc. We show that DELE outperforms the state-of-the-art global and local descriptors in the large-scale setting by significant margins.read more

Generalized Local Attention Pooling for Deep Metric Learning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a generalized local attention pooling (GLAP) to generate compact image representations which uses local spatial information through an attention mechanism, instead of being placed at the end layer of the backbone, is connected at an intermediate level, resulting in lower memory requirements.

Unsupervised Metric Relocalization Using Transform Consistency Loss
TL;DR: This work proposes a self-supervised solution to metric relocalization, which exploits a key insight: localizing a query image within a map should yield the same absolute pose, regardless of the reference image used for registration, and derives a novel transform consistency loss.
