With the universal application of camera in intelligent vehicles, visual place recognition has become a major problem in intelligent vehicle localization. The traditional solution is to make visual description of place images using hand-crafted feature for matching places, but this description method is not very good for extreme variability, especially for seasonal transformation. In this paper, we propose a new method based on convolutional neural network (CNN), by putting images into the pre-trained network model to get automatically learned image descriptors, and through some operations of pooling, fusion and binarization to optimize them, then the similarity result of place recognition is presented with the Hamming distance of the place sequence. In the experimental part, we compare our method with some state-of-the-art algorithms, FABMAP, ABLE-M and SeqSLAM, to illustrate its advantages. The experimental results show that our method based on CNN achieves better performance than other methods on the representative public datasets.
