Conventional single image based localization methods usually fail to localize a querying image when there exist large variations between the querying image and the pre-built scene. To address this, we propose an image-set querying based localization approach. When the localization by a single image fails to work, the system will ask the user to capture more auxiliary images. First, a local 3D model is established for the querying image set. Then, the pose of the querying image set is estimated
