Aerial image sequence geolocalization with road traffic as invariant feature

作者:

Highlights:

• We utilize roads as appearance invariant features for geolocalization.

• Using the road map an image database over the search area is not needed.

• We present a geometric hashing method to match partial line segments to line structures.

• The search method does not need a complete road detector which detects relations between roads as a graph, e.g. intersections.

• Using car tracks as road segment detection is invariant to different light conditions, seasonal changes and scale.
