Abstract

We present a prototype of an information guide system to be used outdoor in our campus. It allows a user to find places of interest (e.g., lecture halls and libraries) using a camera phone. We use a database of panoramic views of campus scenes tagged by GPS locations, which can diminish overlapping between views. Panoramic views with the closest locations with the query view are acquired. We exploit a wide-baseline matching technique to match between views. However, due to dissimilarity in viewpoints and presence of repetitive structures, a vast percentage of matches could be false matches. We propose a verification model to effectively eliminate false matches. The true correspondences are chosen for pose recovery and information is then projected onto the image. The system is validated by extensive experiments, with images taken in different seasons, weather, illumination conditions, etc.
