Trajectory-aware Cross-view Geo-localization with Sequential Observations

Tianyi Gao, Jiayu Lin, Danielle Beaulieu, Nathan Jacobs

Cross-view geo-localization matches ground-level observations against geo-tagged satellite imagery. Recent methods show that sequential queries such as video clips yield richer spatiotemporal cues than single images, yet they overlook a complementary sequential modality: route descriptions -- which capture the same trajectory at a higher level of abstraction and are often the only input available (e.g., a user directing an autonomous vehicle to a pickup point). To bridge this gap, we introduce SeqGeo-VL, a dataset of $\sim$39K video-text-satellite triplets, and TrajLoc, a unified framework capable of processing both video clips and route descriptions. By leveraging both dense visual and abstract linguistic semantics, TrajLoc enables these modalities to mutually reinforce cross-view matching. We further propose TrajMod, a lightweight module that conditions query embeddings on trajectory geometry, yielding spatially-aware representations. Experiments show that TrajLoc achieves substantial gains over state-of-the-art methods on both video and text geo-localization.

CARA: Concept-Aware Risk Attention for Interpretable Collision Anticipation

Zhishan Tao, Ruoyu Wang, Yucheng Wu, Enjun Du, Yilei Yuan, Sherwin Ho, et al.

Collision anticipation in autonomous driving requires not only accurate early warnings but also interpretable reasoning about what risk factors are being tracked and how risk evolves over time. Existing methods fall short in this regard: feature-driven models are opaque, post-hoc…

JustDepth: Real-Time Radar-Camera Depth Estimation with Single-Scan LiDAR Supervision

Wooyung Yun, Dongwook Kim, Soomok Lee

Accurate yet low-latency depth is essential for radar-camera perception in autonomous systems. Cameras provide rich appearance but lack metric scale, whereas automotive radar offers metric range but is sparse and noisy. Many pipelines are multi-stage or depend on auxiliary annota…
