Assessing the Geolocation Capabilities, Limitations and Societal Risks of Generative Vision-Language Models
Oliver Grainge, Sania Waheed, Jack Stilgoe +2
Geo-localization is the task of identifying the location of an image using visual cues alone. It has beneficial applications, such as improving disaster response, enhancing navigat…
TAT-VPR: Ternary Adaptive Transformer for Dynamic and Efficient Visual Place Recognition
Oliver Grainge, Michael Milford, Indu Bodala +2
TAT-VPR is a ternary-quantized transformer that brings dynamic accuracy-efficiency trade-offs to visual SLAM loop-closure. By fusing ternary weights with a learned activation-spars…
TeTRA-VPR: A Ternary Transformer Approach for Compact Visual Place Recognition
Oliver Grainge, Michael Milford, Indu Bodala +2
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) localizes a query image by matching it against a database of geo-tagged reference images, making it essential for navigation and mapping in robotics.…
Structured Pruning for Efficient Visual Place Recognition
Oliver Grainge, Michael Milford, Indu Bodala +2
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is fundamental for the global re-localization of robots and devices, enabling them to recognize previously visited locations based on visual inputs.…
Design Space Exploration of Low-Bit Quantized Neural Networks for Visual Place Recognition
Oliver Grainge, Michael Milford, Indu Bodala +2
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is a critical task for performing global re-localization in visual perception systems. It requires the ability to accurately recognize a previously v…
