Abstract
A computer implemented method of associating a non-electronic map with an electronic map is provided. The method comprises, for an obtained online data collection, generating a database of style-invariant and location-variant map representations by application of a convolutional neural network. Additionally, for a captured image associated with the non-electronic map, the captured image not having geo-location metadata, the method comprises applying a nearest neighbor heuristic to compare the captured image to the map representations and generate a match between the captured image and the map representations, and performing a display action associated with the match.
