Are Visual Place Recognition Models Recognizing Places or Conditions? Distractor-Augmented Evaluation and Condition Suppression
Beomsu Kim, Minwoo Jung, Giseop Kim
Long-term Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is typically evaluated by matching queries from one condition against a database from another. Crowdsourced map databases, however, may mix…
TreeLoc++: Robust 6-DoF LiDAR Localization in Forests with a Compact Digital Forest Inventory
Minwoo Jung, Dongjae Lee, Nived Chebrolu +3
Reliable localization is essential for sustainable forest management, as it allows robots to revisit and monitor the status of individual trees over long periods. In modern forestr…
Geometrically-Constrained Radar-Inertial Odometry via Continuous Point-Pose Uncertainty Modeling
Wooseong Yang, Dongjae Lee, Minwoo Jung +1
Radar odometry is crucial for robust localization in challenging environments; however, the sparsity of reliable returns and distinctive noise characteristics impede its performanc…
TreeLoc: 6-DoF LiDAR Global Localization in Forests via Inter-Tree Geometric Matching
Minwoo Jung, Nived Chebrolu, Lucas Carvalho de Lima +3
Reliable localization is crucial for navigation in forests, where GPS is often degraded and LiDAR measurements are repetitive, occluded, and structurally complex. These conditions…
SHeRLoc: Synchronized Heterogeneous Radar Place Recognition for Cross-Modal Localization
Hanjun Kim, Minwoo Jung, Wooseong Yang +1
Despite the growing adoption of radar in robotics, the majority of research has been confined to homogeneous sensor types, overlooking the integration and cross-modality challenges…
ImLPR: Image-based LiDAR Place Recognition using Vision Foundation Models
Minwoo Jung, Lanke Frank Tarimo Fu, Maurice Fallon +1
LiDAR Place Recognition (LPR) is a key component in robotic localization, enabling robots to align current scans with prior maps of their environment. While Visual Place Recognitio…
