Efficient ConvNet Feature Extraction with Multiple RoI Pooling for Landmark-Based Visual Localization of Autonomous Vehicles

Table 4

Localization accuracy comparison of MRoI-FastRCNN-AlexNet versus FastRCNN-AlexNet and MRoI-FastRCNN-VGG-M1024 versus FastRCNN-VGG-M1024 in terms of maximum precision at 100% recall (Pr. at 100% Re.), maximum recall at 100% precision (Re. at 100% Pr.), and average precision (AP). The highest value with respect to each metric on each dataset is highlighted in bold. The middle italic values are the difference between MRoI-FastRCNN-AlexNet/VGG-M1024 and FastRCNN-AlexNet/VGG-M1024.
