Abstract: A computer-implemented method for localizing a vehicle can include accessing, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a machine-learned retrieval model that has been trained using a ground truth dataset comprising a plurality of pre-localized sensor observations. Each of the plurality of pre-localized sensor observations has a predetermined pose value associated with a previously obtained sensor reading representation. The method also includes obtaining, by the computing system, a current sensor reading representation obtained by one or more sensors located at the vehicle. The method also includes inputting, by the computing system, the current sensor reading representation into the machine-learned retrieval model.

Abstract: Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with object localization and generation of compressed feature representations are provided. For example, a computing system can access source data and target data. The source data can include a source representation of an environment including a source object. The target data can include a compressed target feature representation of the environment. The compressed target feature representation can be based on compression of a target feature representation of the environment produced by machine-learned models. A source feature representation can be generated based on the source representation and the machine-learned models. The machine-learned models can include machine-learned feature extraction models or machine-learned attention models. A localized state of the source object with respect to the environment can be determined based on the source feature representation and the compressed target feature representation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a location based on image data are provided. A method can include receiving, by a computing system, a query image depicting a surrounding environment of a vehicle. The query image can be input into a machine-learned image embedding model and a machine-learned feature extraction model to obtain a query embedding and a query feature representation, respectively. The method can include identifying a subset of candidate embeddings that have embeddings similar to the query embedding. The method can include obtaining a respective feature representation for each image associated with the subset of candidate embeddings. The method can include determining a set of relative displacements between each image associated with the subset of candidate embeddings and the query image and determining a localized state of a vehicle based at least in part on the set of relative displacements.

Abstract: Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with object localization and generation of compressed feature representations are provided. For example, a computing system can access training data including a source feature representation and a target feature representation. An encoded target feature representation can be generated based on the target feature representation and a machine-learned encoding model. A binarized target feature representation can be generated based on the encoded target feature representation and lossless binarization operations. A reconstructed target feature representation can be generated based on the binarized target feature representation and a machine-learned decoding model. A matching score for the source feature representation and the reconstructed target feature representation can be determined. A loss associated with the matching score can be determined.

Abstract: Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with object localization and generation of compressed feature representations are provided. For example, a computing system can access training data including a target feature representation and a source feature representation. An attention feature representation can be generated based on the target feature representation and a machine-learned attention model. An attended target feature representation can be generated based on masking the target feature representation with the attention feature representation. A matching score for the source feature representation and the target feature representation can be determined. A loss associated with the matching score and a ground-truth matching score for the source feature representation and the target feature representation can be determined. Furthermore, parameters of the machine-learned attention model can be adjusted based on the loss.
