Humans can build a mental map of a geographical area to find their way and recognize places. The basic task we consider is geo-localization - finding the pose (position & orientation) of a camera in a large 3D scene from a single image. We…
People from different parts of the globe describe objects and concepts in distinct manners. Visual appearance can thus vary across different geographic locations, which makes location a relevant contextual information when analysing visual…

Co-localization is the problem of localizing objects of the same class using only the set of images that contain them. This is a challenging task because the object detector must be built without negative examples that can lead to more…
Land-use classification based on spaceborne or aerial remote sensing images has been extensively studied over the past decades. Such classification is usually a patch-wise or pixel-wise labeling over the whole image. But for many…
Re-localizing a camera from a single image in a previously mapped area is vital for many computer vision applications in robotics and augmented/virtual reality. In this work, we address the problem of estimating the 6 DoF camera pose…
Visual Place Recognition is a task that aims to predict the place of an image (called query) based solely on its visual features. This is typically done through image retrieval, where the query is matched to the most similar images from a…
