Voronoi-based Second-order Descriptor with Whitened Metric in LiDAR Place Recognition
Description
The pooling layer plays a vital role in aggregating local descriptors into the metrizable global descriptor in the LiDAR Place Recognition (LPR). In particular, the second-order pooling is capable of capturing higher-order interactions among local descriptors. However, its existing methods in the LPR adhere to conventional implementations and post-normalization, and incur the descriptor unsuitable for Euclidean distancing. Based on the recent interpretation that associates NetVLAD with the secon
