Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is the ability to correctly recall Accessories a previously visited place under changing viewpoints and appearances.A large number of handcrafted and deep-learning-based VPR techniques exist, where the former suffer from appearance changes and the latter have significant computational needs.In this paper, we present a
