Panorama to Panorama Matching for Location Recognition

ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval, ACM, Bucharest, Romania, June 2017.

Location recognition is commonly treated as visual instance retrieval on “street view” imagery. The dataset items and queries are panoramic views, i.e. groups of images taken at a single location. This work introduces a novel panorama-to-panorama matching process, either by aggregating features of individual images in a group or by explicitly constructing a larger panorama. In either case, multiple views are used as queries. We reach near perfect location recognition on a standard benchmark with only four query views.
