Photo Tagging in Urban Environments
Csaba Simon, Markosz Maliosz · 2011
In this paper we investigate the applicability of the photo tagging to geo location in urban environments. We rely on photos taken at the location to be identified and not on the geographical coordinates. The difficulty of the proposal was to identify the building/landmark based on the photo provided on-line by the user. Our goal was to provide a working solution with a reasonably fast reaction time for urban environments. We have shown that the combination of division of the image and the color-based comparison with the original SIFT algorithm significantly improves the comparison process.
