Abstract

We introduce a solution to large scale Augmented Reality for outdoor scenes by registering camera images to textured Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). To accomodate the inherent differences in appearance between real images and DEMs, we train a cross-domain feature descriptor using Structure From Motion (SFM) reconstructions to acquire training data. Our method runs efficiently on a mobile device, and outperforms existing learned and hand designed feature descriptors for this task.
