An approach is provided for determining a feature correspondence between image views. The approach, for example, involves retrieving a top down image for an area of interest and determining a ground level camera pose path for the area of interest. The approach also involves selecting a portion of the top down image that corresponds to a geographic area within a distance threshold from the ground level camera pose path, and then processing the portion of the top down image to identify a semantic feature. The approach further involves determining a subset of camera poses of the ground level pose path that is within a sphere of visibility of the semantic feature, and retrieving one or more ground level images captured with the subset of camera poses. The approach further involves determining the feature correspondence of the semantic feature between the top down image and the one or more ground level images.
