Visual Place Recognition with Repetitive Structures

A new version of the open-source release of the software package for visual localization in urban environments has been made publicly available in July 2015. The software package implements the method [A. Torii et al., CVPR 2013] (journal version published this year in [5] ) for representing visual data containing repetitive structures (such as building facades or fences), which often occur in urban environments and present significant challenge for current image matching methods. This is an extended version that includes geometric verification. The first version was made available in 2013 and has been updated in May 2014. The current version of the software is available at http://www.di.ens.fr/willow/research/repttile/download/repttile_demo_ver04.zip .
