What are the ingredients required for vision-based place recognition? Pattern recognition models for localization must fulfill invariance requirements different from those of object recognition. We propose a method to evaluate the suitability of existing image processing techniques by testing their outputs against these invariances. The method is applied to several holistic and one local model....

Such applications reverse geocode the GPS data to discover the actual places (shops, restaurants, etc.) where the user has been.
