UniLoop: Unified Loop Closure Detection from Retrieval to Geometric Verification and Relative Pose Estimation
Overview
This research paper introduces UniLoop, a unified framework for loop closure detection that reuses hierarchical representations from a pretrained geometric foundation model across retrieval, verification, and pose estimation. By sharing features between a global image encoder, cross-view decoder, and pose-graph optimization, the method reduces redundant computation while improving robustness. Experiments on MSLS and Pitts30k benchmarks show UniLoop achieves state-of-the-art Recall@10 scores of 96.6 and 99.3 respectively, with verification branch performance reaching 95.63 AP and 96.29 ROC-AUC, outperforming existing modular baselines.
