Recently, camera localization has been widely adopted in autonomous robotic navigation due to its efficiency and convenience. However, autonomous navigation in unknown environments often suffers from scene ambiguity, environmental disturbances, and dynamic object transformation in camera localization. To address this problem, inspired by the biological brain navigation mechanism (such as grid cells, place cells, and head direction cells), we propose a novel neurobiological camera location method, namely NeuroLoc. Firstly, we designed a Hebbian learning module driven by place cells to save and replay historical information, aiming to restore the details of historical representations and solve the issue of scene fuzziness. Secondly, we utilized the head direction cell-inspired internal direction learning as multi-head attention embedding to help restore the true orientation in similar scenes. Finally, we added a 3D grid center prediction in the pose regression module to reduce the final wrong prediction. We evaluate the proposed NeuroLoc on commonly used benchmark indoor and outdoor datasets. The experimental results show that our NeuroLoc can enhance the robustness in complex environments and improve the performance of pose regression by using only a single image.

In the existing unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods for remote sensing images (RSIs) semantic segmentation, class symmetry is an widely followed ideal assumption, where the source and target RSIs have exactly the same class space. In practice, however, it is often very difficult to find a source RSI with exactly the same classes as the target RSI. More commonly, there are multiple source RSIs available. To this end, a novel class asymmetry RSIs domain adaptation method with multiple sources is proposed in this paper, which consists of four key components. Firstly, a multi-branch segmentation network is built to learn an expert for each source RSI. Secondly, a novel collaborative learning method with the cross-domain mixing strategy is proposed, to supplement the class information for each source while achieving the domain adaptation of each source-target pair. Thirdly, a pseudo-label generation strategy is proposed to effectively combine strengths of different experts, which can be flexibly applied to two cases where the source class union is equal to or includes the target class set. Fourthly, a multiview-enhanced knowledge integration module is developed for the high-level knowledge routing and transfer from multiple domains to target predictions.
