RIM: A Retrieval-In-Matching Framework for Cross-Domain Global Visual Localization of UAVs

Global visual localization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using remote-sensing reference maps has attracted increasing attention. However, acquisition-time and imaging-platform differences between UAV and reference imagery induce substantial cross-domain appearance and viewpoint shifts, challenging robust six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) pose estimation.

A Top-Down Framework for Metric-Scale Athlete Localization from Single Broadcast Frames

The paper introduces a top‑down framework for accurately locating athletes in metric world coordinates using a single calibrated broadcast frame. It presents three main contributions: a Boundary‑Aware Adaptive Tiling method that expands tile boundaries to avoid splitting athletes across tiles, a specialized two‑keypoint estimator based on RTMPose‑X for pelvis and ground projection points, and a deterministic lift of 2D projections into 3D world coordinates via camera‑calibrated ray casting. The approach achieves a LocSim score of 97.44 and an mAP of 0.9128, surpassing the baseline by over 21 % on a public test set.

GeoStore: Finding Small Storefronts in Large Scenes -- A Fine-Grained POI Localization Benchmark with Global-to-Local Asymmetric Matching

GeoStore is a new benchmark for fine‑grained point‑of‑interest (POI) localization that matches close‑up storefront photos against large geo‑tagged street‑view images, a task distinct from traditional visual place recognition. The paper shows that global‑descriptor methods designed for symmetric matching perform poorly on this asymmetric problem, and introduces GLAM, a Global‑to‑Local Asymmetric Matching approach that combines a global retrieval anchor with a lightweight local re‑ranking using pooled region tokens. GLAM achieves higher Recall@1/5/10 and mAP than strong baselines while using far fewer re‑ranking features and significantly lower per‑pair matching cost.
