Abstract

Image based localization is a classical computer vision challenge, with several well-known datasets. Generally, datasets consist of a visual 3D database that captures the modeled scenery, as well as query images whose 3D pose is to be discovered. Usually the query images have been acquired with a camera that differs from the imaging hardware used to collect the 3D database; consequently, it is hard to acquire accurate ground truth poses between query images and the 3D database. As the accuracy of visual localization algorithms constantly improves, precise ground truth becomes increasingly important. This paper proposes TBPos, a novel large-scale visual dataset for image based positioning, which provides query images with fully accurate ground truth poses: both the database images and the query images have been derived from the same laser scanner data. In the experimental part of the paper, the proposed dataset is evaluated by means of an image-based localization pipeline.
