Geo-distinctive Visual Element Matching for Location Estimation of Images
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
We propose an image representation and matching approach that substantially improves visual-based location estimation for images. ...
We then maximize the influence of visual elements that are geo-distinctive because they do not occur in images taken at many other locations. ...
This paper introduces a visual matching approach to image geo-location estimation that exploits geo-distinctive visual elements, referred to as distinctive visual element matching (DVEM). ...

Where to be wary: The impact of widespread photo-taking and image enhancement practices on users' geo-privacy
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Today's geo-location estimation approaches are able to infer the location of a target image using its visual content alone. ...
These approaches exploit visual matching techniques, applied to a large collection of background images with known geo-locations. ...
The visual elements that allow GLE to geo-locate the images in the first column of Fig. 1 range from fairly obvious to barely noticeable. ...

Visual Geo-localization of Non-photographic Depictions via 2D–3D Alignment
[chapter]
2016
Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Similar to object detection, the set of visual elements, as well as the weights of individual features for each element, are learnt in a discriminative fashion. ...
We show that the learnt visual elements are reliably matched in 2D depictions of the scene despite large variations in rendering style (e.g. watercolor, sketch, historical photograph) and structural changes ...

Predicting Good Features for Image Geo-Localization Using Per-Bundle VLAD
2015
2015 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV)
We address the problem of recognizing a place depicted in a query image by using a large database of geo-tagged images at a city-scale. ...
Also, for both learning to predict features and retrieving geo-tagged images from the database, we propose per-bundle vector of locally aggregated descriptors (PBVLAD), where each maximally stable region ...

Discovering Geo-Informative Attributes for Location Recognition and Exploration
2014
ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications (TOMCCAP)
This article considers the problem of automatically discovering geo-informative attributes for location recognition and exploration. ...
The attributes are expected to be both discriminative and representative, which correspond to certain distinctive visual patterns and associate with semantic interpretations. ...
For a set of unlabeled geo-informative attributes, we first retrieve the visual neighbors from the user-tagged image database in the location. ...
