The most successful HIDs are those extracted from Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) like VGG, ResNet, InceptionV4 or NetVLAD. Very recently, the equivariance property has been proposed to reflect how image 2D transformations (e.g. rotation, flip, scale changes) influence the descriptor [17]. Our work experimentally analyzes whether such property can be a good indicator of the suitability of the existing CNN-based HID for estimating changes in the camera pose, which produces more complex transformations of the image than the pure transformations analyzed in [17]. The results we report here are a preliminary work in the context of an ongoing project towards appearance-based localization of autonomous mobile robots.
