GeoMix: Descriptor-Free Visual Localization via Global Context and Multi-Detector Training

Descriptor-free visual localization eliminates high-dimensional descriptor storage, preserves scene privacy, and simplifies map maintenance, yet its accuracy still lags far behind descriptor-based pipelines.

Descriptor-free visual localization eliminates high-dimensional descriptor storage, preserves scene privacy, and simplifies map maintenance, yet its accuracy still lags far behind descriptor-based pipelines. We identify this gap to insufficient geometric discriminability in…
