Abstract
Method and apparatus for recognizing landmark buildings in an image and then locating the recognized landmark buildings onto a map together with related information wherein a first database is employed to store models formed by mathematical set descriptions of landmark buildings which are learned from a set of training images of a model-learning module captured by an imaging device for each building, and a second database is employed to store the related information of each landmark building. The model of each landmark building is represented as a set of features and the geometric relationship between them by clustering the salient features extracted from a set of training images of the landmark building.
