Illustration of Observation Constraints. Blue triangle represents reference cameras. Red points represents point clouds. Pink lines represent observation between cameras and point clouds. Green triangle represents coarse localization result. (a). Yellow triangle represents visible cone of point cloud p 3D j . (b). We firstly filter reference cameras co-visible with coarse camera pose using distance and angle between normal vectors of coarse camera pose and reference cameras. Camera C 3 is filtered out. (c). We filter out point clouds whose visible cone not covering coarse camera pose. Point cloud p 3D 0 is filtered out. (d). Finally we obtain point clouds that possibly observed by coarse camera pose.

Visual localization is a fundamental task that regresses the 6 Degree Of Freedom (6DoF) poses with image features in order to serve the high precision localization requests in many robotics applications. Degenerate conditions like motion blur, illumination changes and environment variations place great challenges in this task. Fusion with additiona...
