Researchers have developed GALoc, a novel framework for indoor localization that utilizes gravity-aligned wireframes instead of depth prediction. This geometry-first approach constructs a linear constraint matrix from monocular RGB input, camera intrinsics, relative poses, and IMU orientation to enforce verticality and coplanarity. The rectified wireframes are then transformed into bird's-eye-view layouts and matched against floorplans using an SE(2) search. GALoc demonstrates competitive or superior performance to depth-based methods on datasets like Structured3D and Gibson, achieving 88% sequential localization success on Gibson compared to 68% for baselines, while also abstaining in scenes lacking sufficient structure.
