abstract
Recent approaches to reconstructing city-sized areas
from large image collections usually process them all at
once and only produce disconnected descriptions of image
subsets, which typically correspond to major landmarks.
In contrast, we propose a framework that lets us take
advantage of the available meta-data to build a single, con-
sistent description from these potentially disconnected de-
scriptions. Furthermore, this description can be incremen-
tally updated and enriched as new images become avail-
able. We demonstrate the power of our approach by build-
ing large-scale reconstructions using images of Lausanne
and Prague.
