FlatVPR: Plug-and-play Geo-linear Residual Adapter for Geometric Rectification of Foundation Model Feature Manifolds

This paper proposes ``FlatVPR,'' a novel geometric rectification paradigm that effectively bridges the trade-off between map lightweightness and localization accuracy in visual place recognition (VPR) by enforcing a feature manifold structure where any descriptor between two adjacent anchors $\mathbf{z}_A$ and $\mathbf{z}_B$ can be accurately reconstructed via linear interpolation $\hat{\mathbf{z}}_{pseudo} = (1-t)\mathbf{z}_A + t\mathbf{z}_B$, where $t \in [0,1]$ denotes the relative position. While state-of-the-art foundation models such as DINOv2-ViT-S/14 provide robust semantic features, their latent manifolds exhibit prominent curvature, projecting uniform linear motion in physical space onto highly non-linear trajectories in the feature space, which hinders reliable reconstruction under sparse anchor conditions.
