Context Aware Object Geotagging

Abstract: Localization of street objects from images has gained a lot of attention in recent years. We propose an approach to improve asset geolocation from street view imagery by enhancing the quality of the metadata associated with the images using Structure from Motion. The predicted object geolocation is further refined by imposing contextual geographic information extracted from OpenStreetMap. Our pipeline is validated experimentally against the state of the art approaches for geotagging traffic lights.
