For robots to navigate and interact more richly with the world around them, they will likely
require a deeper understanding of the world in which they operate. In robotics and related …

Is it possible to determine the location of a photo from just its pixels? While the general
problem seems exceptionally difficult, photos often contain cues such as landmarks, weather …

We are surrounded by plenty of information about our environment. From these multiple
sources, numerous data could be extracted: set of images, 3D model, coloured points …

Given a picture taken somewhere in the world, automatic geo-localization of that image is a
task that would be extremely useful eg for historical and forensic sciences, documentation …

Semantic edge detection (SED), which aims at jointly extracting edges as well as their
category information, has far-reaching applications in domains such as semantic …

While the successful estimation of a photo's geolocation enables a number of interesting
applications, it is also a very challenging task. Due to the complexity of the problem, most …

Matching cross-view images is challenging because the appearance and viewpoints are
significantly different. While low-level features based on gradient orientations or filter …

Visual localization is a core component in many applications, including augmented reality
(AR). Localization algorithms compute the camera pose of a query image wrt a scene …

Given a picture taken somewhere in the world, automatic geo-localization of such an image
is an extremely useful task especially for historical and forensic sciences, documentation …

In this paper, we propose a method to detect changes in the geometry of a city using
panoramic images captured by a car driving around the city. We designed our approach to …
