Towards Global Localization using Multi-Modal Object-Instance Re-Identification

Published in Advances in Robotics (AIR) - Oral, 2025

We propose a dual-path object-instance re-identification transformer that integrates RGB and depth information for robust object ReID and camera localization across varying viewpoints and environments.
