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…
Image geolocalization is the task of identifying the location depicted in a photo based only on its visual information. This task is inherently challenging since many photos have only few, possibly ambiguous cues to their geolocation.…
