. Accurate geo-registration of ground based Multi-view Stereo (MVS) models. Left: an MVS model from geo-located aerial images. Middle: the ground model is successfully geo-registered using the proposed method. Landmark: Castel Sant'Angelo. Right: an overhead view of the Roman landmarks that have been geo-registered, as part of our large scale evaluation. Abstract-We address the problem of geo-registering ground-based multi-view stereo models by ground-to-aerial image matching. The main contribution is a fully automated geo-registration pipeline with a novel viewpoint-dependent matching method that handles ground to aerial viewpoint variation. We conduct large-scale experiments which consist of many popular outdoor landmarks in Rome. The proposed approach demonstrates a high success rate for the task, and dramatically outperforms state-of-the-art techniques, yielding geo-registration at pixel-level accuracy.
