SUFLECA: Scaling Up Feature Learning for CAD-to-image Alignment

Saad Ejaz, Miguel Fernandez-Cortizas, Javier Civera +2

CAD-to-image alignment aims to estimate an object's 9D pose (rotation, translation, and anisotropic scale) from a single RGB image, with applications in robotics and augmented real…

SSMB: Self-Supervised Local Feature Detection under Motion Blur

Zhenjun Zhao, Fabio Bellavia, Wenting Wang +6

Keypoint detection under motion blur remains a significant challenge, as blur distorts local image structure and degrades the repeatability of feature localization. Existing approa…

Visual Relocalization from Sparse Views in Aliased and Low-Texture Environments via Novel View Synthesis

Maria Peribañez, Javier Civera, Rudolph Triebel +1

Visual localization becomes extremely challenging in planetary-like terrains characterized by low texture, perceptual aliasing, harsh illumination, and sparse, weakly overlapping v…

Non-Minimal Sampling and Consensus for Prohibitively Large Datasets

Seong Hun Lee, Patrick Vandewalle, Javier Civera

We introduce NONSAC (Non-Minimal Sampling and Consensus), a general framework for robust and scalable model estimation from arbitrarily large datasets contaminated with noise and o…

PAGaS: Pixel-Aligned 1DoF Gaussian Splatting for Depth Refinement

David Recasens, Robert Maier, Aljaz Bozic +4

Gaussian Splatting (GS) has emerged as an efficient approach for high-quality novel view synthesis. While early GS variants struggled to accurately model the scene's geometry, rece…

P3P Made Easy

Seong Hun Lee, Patrick Vandewalle, Javier Civera

We revisit the classical Perspective-Three-Point (P3P) problem, which aims to recover the absolute pose of a calibrated camera from three 2D-3D correspondences. It has long been kn…

Single-Shot Metric Depth from Focused Plenoptic Cameras

Blanca Lasheras-Hernandez, Klaus H. Strobl, Sergio Izquierdo +3

Metric depth estimation from visual sensors is crucial for robots to perceive, navigate, and interact with their environment. Traditional range imaging setups, such as stereo or st…

Alignment Scores: Robust Metrics for Multiview Pose Accuracy Evaluation

Seong Hun Lee, Javier Civera

We propose three novel metrics for evaluating the accuracy of a set of estimated camera poses given the ground truth: Translation Alignment Score (TAS), Rotation Alignment Score (R…
