Abstract
In some embodiments, a system and method for estimating the geographical location at which image data was captured with a camera identifies matching feature points between the captured images, estimates a pose of the camera during the image capture from the feature points, performs geometric reconstruction of a scene in the images using the estimated pose of the camera to obtain a reconstructed scene, and compares the reconstructed scene to overhead images of known geographical origin to identify potential matches.
