AdaptVPR: route-aware hard positive generation boosts robust visual place recognition
Shunpeng Chen · hf · 2026-09-07
AdaptVPR improves visual place recognition (VPR) by generating verified synthetic hard positives — same-place images with diverse appearance changes — guided by a route-aware strategy.
- Key idea: synthetically augment training data with confirmed same-location pairs across lighting/season/viewpoint shifts
- These hard positives train models that stay robust to drastic real-world appearance changes
