%0 Journal Article %T Image Set Querying Based Localization %A Lei Deng %A Siyuan Huang %A Yueqi Duan %A Baohua Chen %A Jie Zhou %J Computer Science %D 2015 %I arXiv %X Conventional single image based localization methods usually fail to localize a querying image when there exist large variations between the querying image and the pre-built scene. To address this, we propose an image-set querying based localization approach. When the localization by a single image fails to work, the system will ask the user to capture more auxiliary images. First, a local 3D model is established for the querying image set. Then, the pose of the querying image set is estimated by solving a nonlinear optimization problem, which aims to match the local 3D model against the pre-built scene. Experiments have shown the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approach. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.06016v1
