Large-Scale Visual Geo-Localization

Large-Scale Visual Geo-Localization Synopsis

This timely and authoritative volume explores the bidirectional relationship between images and locations. The text presents a comprehensive review of the state of the art in large-scale visual geo-localization, and discusses the emerging trends in this area. Valuable insights are supplied by a pre-eminent selection of experts in the field, into a varied range of real-world applications of geo-localization.

Topics and features:

• discusses the latest methods to exploit internet-scale image databases for devising geographically rich features and geo-localizing query images at different scales
• investigates geo-localization techniques that are built upon high-level and semantic cues
• describes methods that perform precise localization by geometrically aligning the query image against a 3D model
• reviews techniques that accomplish image understanding assisted by the geo-location, as well as several approaches for geo-localization under practical, real-world settings
