CIPER: A Unified Framework for Cross-view Image-retrieval and Pose-estimation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2606.05011v1 Announce Type: new Cross-view geo-localization estimates the geographic location of a ground image by matching it against an aerial image database. Existing methods tackle this through either large-scale retrieval or precise pose estimation, but not both: retrieval-based methods enable wide-area search at the cost of localization accuracy, while pose estimation methods achieve high precision within only a narrow search space. Naively cascading these pipelines
