We present a simple yet efficient deep network architecture to compute a rotationally invariant discriminative global descriptor from a radar scan image. The performance and generalization ability of the proposed method is experimentally evaluated on two large scale driving datasets: MulRan and Oxford Radar RobotCar. Additionally, we present a comparative evaluation of radar-based and LiDAR-based localization using learned global descriptors. Our code and trained models are publicly available on the project website.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.03081v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.03081v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"large-scale-topological-radar-localization","repo_url":"https://github.com/jac99/radarloc","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
