Geotagged Image Recognition by Combining Three Different Kinds of Geolocation Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scenes and objects represented in photos have causal relationship to the places where they are taken. In this paper, we propose using geo-information such as aerial photos and location-related texts as features for geotagged image recognition and fusing them with Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL). By the experiments, we have verified the possibility for reflecting location contexts in image recognition by evaluating not only recognition rates, but feature fusion weights estimated by MKL. As a result, the mean average precision (MAP) for 28 categories increased up to 80.87% by the proposed method, compared with 77.71% by the baseline. Especially, for the categories related to location-dependent concepts, MAP was improved by 6.57 points.

Avoiding Confusing Features in Place Recognition
We seek to recognize the place depicted in a query image using a database of “street side” images annotated with geolocation information. This is a challenging task due to changes in scale, viewpoint and lighting between the query and the images in the database. One of the key problems in place recognition is the presence of objects such as trees or road markings, which frequently occur in the ...
متن کاملEstimating the camera direction of a geotagged image using reference images
Millions of smart phones and GPS-equipped digital cameras sold each year, as well as photo-sharing websites such as Picasa and Panoramio have enabled personal photos to be associated with geographic information. It has been shown by recent research results that the additional global positioning system (GPS) information helps visual recognition for geotagged photos by providing valuable location...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Image Geolocalization
In this chapter, we explore the task of global image geolocalization— estimating where on the Earth a photograph was captured. We examine variants of the “im2gps” algorithm using millions of “geotagged” Internet photographs as training data. We first discuss a simple to understand nearest-neighbor baseline. Next, we introduce a lazy-learning approach with more sophisticated features that double...

متن کاملIdentifying the Geographic Location of an Image with a Multimodal Probability Density Function
There is a wide array of online photographic content that is not geotagged. Algorithms for efficient and accurate geographical estimation of an image are needed to geolocate these photos. This paper presents a general model for using both textual metadata and visual features of photos to automatically place them on a world map.
