Learning Navigational Visual Representations with Semantic Map Supervision
Open accessAbstract
Being able to perceive the semantics and the spatial structure of the environment is essential for visual navigation of a household robot. However, most existing works only employ visual backbones pre-trained either with independent images for classification or with self-supervised learning methods to adapt to the indoor navigation domain, neglecting the spatial relationships that are essential to the learning of navigation. Inspired by the behavior that humans naturally build semantically and spatially meaningful cognitive maps in their brains during navigation, in this paper, we propose a novel navigational-specific visual representation learning method by contrasting the agent’s egocentric views and semantic maps (Ego2-Map). We apply the visual transformer as the backbone encoder and train the model with data collected from the large-scale HabitatMatterport3D environments. Ego2-Map learning transfers the compact and rich information from a map, such as objects, structure and transition, to the agent’s egocentric representations for navigation. Experiments show that agents using our learned representations on object-goal navigation outperform recent visual pre-training methods. Moreover, our representations significantly improve vision-and-language navigation in continuous environments for both high-level and low-level action spaces, achieving new state-of-the-art results of 47% SR and 41% SPL on the test server.

“Meanwhile, an agent capable of understanding human natural language and navigating in photorealistic environments is a complex and modularized system [3, 14, 18, 32, 74, 77, 88, 91], and it is important to study how to effectively utilize the large-scale data to benefit the training of navigational agents adequately.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
