One Channel to Rule Them All: Rethinking Input Representation for Visual Place Recognition 事件

One Channel to Rule Them All: Rethinking Input Representation for Visual Place Recognition arXiv:2606.00936v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is fundamental to long-term robot localization and SLAM, yet current systems overwhelmingly rely on RGB input, implicitly assuming color is necessary for global place recognition. We challenge this assumption, investigating the role of chromatic information across training regimes, model architectures and standard benchmarks un
