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.
