Abstract
Image-based localization technique embodiments are presented which provide a real-time approach for image-based video camera localization within large scenes that have been reconstructed offline using structure from motion or similar techniques. From monocular video, a precise 3D position and 3D orientation of the camera can be estimated on a frame by frame basis using only visual features.
