Title: KappaPlace: Learning Hyperspherical Uncertainty for Visual Place Recognition via Prototype-Anchored Supervision

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.19435v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is critical for autonomous navigation, yet state-of-the-art methods lack well-calibrated uncertainty estimation. Standard pipelines cannot reliably signal when a query is ambiguous or a match is likely incorrect, posing risks in safety-critical robotics. We propose KappaPlace, a principled framework for learning uncertainty-aware VPR representations. Our core contribution is a Prototype-Anchored supervision strategy
