Efficient Sparse-to-Dense Visual Localization via Compact Gaussian Scene Representation and Accelerated Dense Pose Estimation

This letter presents LiteLoc, a novel and efficient localizer built on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). The previous state-of-the-art (SoTA) sparse-to-dense localizer, STDLoc, has shown remarkable localization capability but suffers from severe storage redundancy and computational latency. By revisiting its design decisions, we derive two simple yet highly effective improvements that cumulatively make LiteLoc much more efficient in both memory and computation, while also being easier to train. One key observation is that the color field, inherited directly from Feature 3DGS, is functionally useless for localization. Yet, its reconstruction of high-frequency photometric details necessitates excessive Gaussian primitives, resulting in a tightly coupled color-feature representation with significant memory overhead and sub-optimal feature field optimization. To resolve this, we propose a color-free decoupled feature field that constructs a compact Gaussian scene representation by retaining only task-essential feature attributes, thereby eliminating approximately 94% of redundant storage with no loss of localization-relevant information. We further find that the primary computational bottleneck lies in the dense Perspective-n-Point (PnP) solver, where most matches contribute saturated geometric constraints with diminishing accuracy gains. Accordingly, we propose a condensing strategy that distills dense matches into a subset of 5% representative matches, enabling a nearly 19-fold speedup in robust estimation with negligible performance drop. Extensive experiments show that LiteLoc surpasses STDLoc in multiple scenes with considerable efficiency benefits, opening up exciting prospects for latency-sensitive visual localization.

From Less to More: Spectral Splitting and Aggregation Network for Hyperspectral Face Super-Resolution

High-resolution (HR) hyperspectral face image plays an important role in face related computer vision tasks under uncontrolled conditions, such as low-light environment and spoofing attacks. However, the dense spectral bands of hyperspectral face images come at the cost of limited amount of photons reached a narrow spectral window on average, which greatly reduces the spatial resolution of hyperspectral face images. In this paper, we investigate how to adapt the deep learning techniques to hyperspectral face image super-resolution (HFSR), especially when the training samples are very limited. Benefiting from the amount of spectral bands, in which each band can be seen as an image, we present a spectral splitting and aggregation network (SSANet) for HFSR with limited training samples. In the shallow layers, we split the hyperspectral image into different spectral groups. Then, we gradually aggregate the neighbor bands at deeper layers to exploit spectral correlations. By this spectral splitting and aggregation strategy (SSAS), we can divide the original hyperspectral image into multiple samples (\emph{from less to more}) to support the efficient training of the network and effectively exploit the spectral correlations among spectrum. To cope with the challenge of small training sample size (S3) problem, we propose to expand the training samples by a self-representation model and symmetry-induced augmentation. Experiments show that SSANet can well model the joint correlations of spatial and spectral information. By expanding the training samples, SSANet can effectively alleviate the S3 problem.

ReDFeat: Recoupling Detection and Description for Multimodal Feature Learning

Deep-learning-based local feature extraction algorithms that combine detection and description have made significant progress in visible image matching. However, the end-to-end training of such frameworks is notoriously unstable due to the lack of strong supervision of detection and the inappropriate coupling between detection and description. The problem is magnified in cross-modal scenarios, in which most methods heavily rely on the pre-training. In this paper, we recouple independent constraints of detection and description of multimodal feature learning with a mutual weighting strategy, in which the detected probabilities of robust features are forced to peak and repeat, while features with high detection scores are emphasized during optimization. Different from previous works, those weights are detached from back propagation so that the detected probability of indistinct features would not be directly suppressed and the training would be more stable. Moreover, we propose the Super Detector, a detector that possesses a large receptive field and is equipped with learnable non-maximum suppression layers, to fulfill the harsh terms of detection. Finally, we build a benchmark that contains cross visible, infrared, near-infrared and synthetic aperture radar image pairs for evaluating the performance of features in feature matching and image registration tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that features trained with the recoulped detection and description, named ReDFeat, surpass previous state-of-the-arts in the benchmark, while the model can be readily trained from scratch.

Learning Spatial-Spectral Prior for Super-Resolution of Hyperspectral Imagery

Recently, single gray/RGB image super-resolution reconstruction task has been extensively studied and made significant progress by leveraging the advanced machine learning techniques based on deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). However, there has been limited technical development focusing on single hyperspectral image super-resolution due to the high-dimensional and complex spectral patterns in hyperspectral image. In this paper, we make a step forward by investigating how to adapt state-of-the-art residual learning based single gray/RGB image super-resolution approaches for computationally efficient single hyperspectral image super-resolution, referred as SSPSR. Specifically, we introduce a spatial-spectral prior network (SSPN) to fully exploit the spatial information and the correlation between the spectra of the hyperspectral data. Considering that the hyperspectral training samples are scarce and the spectral dimension of hyperspectral image data is very high, it is nontrivial to train a stable and effective deep network. Therefore, a group convolution (with shared network parameters) and progressive upsampling framework is proposed. This will not only alleviate the difficulty in feature extraction due to high-dimension of the hyperspectral data, but also make the training process more stable. To exploit the spatial and spectral prior, we design a spatial-spectral block (SSB), which consists of a spatial residual module and a spectral attention residual module. Experimental results on some hyperspectral images demonstrate that the proposed SSPSR method enhances the details of the recovered high-resolution hyperspectral images, and outperforms state-of-the-arts.

MTL-NAS: Task-Agnostic Neural Architecture Search towards General-Purpose Multi-Task Learning

We propose to incorporate neural architecture search (NAS) into general-purpose multi-task learning (GP-MTL). Existing NAS methods typically define different search spaces according to different tasks. In order to adapt to different task combinations (i.e., task sets), we disentangle the GP-MTL networks into single-task backbones (optionally encode the task priors), and a hierarchical and layerwise features sharing/fusing scheme across them. This enables us to design a novel and general task-agnostic search space, which inserts cross-task edges (i.e., feature fusion connections) into fixed single-task network backbones. Moreover, we also propose a novel single-shot gradient-based search algorithm that closes the performance gap between the searched architectures and the final evaluation architecture. This is realized with a minimum entropy regularization on the architecture weights during the search phase, which makes the architecture weights converge to near-discrete values and therefore achieves a single model. As a result, our searched model can be directly used for evaluation without (re-)training from scratch. We perform extensive experiments using different single-task backbones on various task sets, demonstrating the promising performance obtained by exploiting the hierarchical and layerwise features, as well as the desirable generalizability to different i) task sets and ii) single-task backbones. The code of our paper is available at https://github.com/bhpfelix/MTLNAS.

Multi-Scale Progressive Fusion Network for Single Image Deraining

Rain streaks in the air appear in various blurring degrees and resolutions due to different distances from their positions to the camera. Similar rain patterns are visible in a rain image as well as its multi-scale (or multi-resolution) versions, which makes it possible to exploit such complementary information for rain streak representation. In this work, we explore the multi-scale collaborative representation for rain streaks from the perspective of input image scales and hierarchical deep features in a unified framework, termed multi-scale progressive fusion network (MSPFN) for single image rain streak removal. For similar rain streaks at different positions, we employ recurrent calculation to capture the global texture, thus allowing to explore the complementary and redundant information at the spatial dimension to characterize target rain streaks. Besides, we construct multi-scale pyramid structure, and further introduce the attention mechanism to guide the fine fusion of this correlated information from different scales. This multi-scale progressive fusion strategy not only promotes the cooperative representation, but also boosts the end-to-end training. Our proposed method is extensively evaluated on several benchmark datasets and achieves state-of-the-art results. Moreover, we conduct experiments on joint deraining, detection, and segmentation tasks, and inspire a new research direction of vision task-driven image deraining.
