Visual Place Recognition Using Rate-Encoded Spiking Neural Networks with Discrete STDP Learning

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) trained through unsupervised Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) have been explored as solutions to visual loop closure problems, driven by the prospect of efficient on-device inference on neuromorphic devices. State-of-the-art STDP-based models deliver high class...
