Visual Place Recognition with Repetitive Structures

Open-source release of the software package for visual localization in urban environments has been made publicly available in May 2014. The software package implements the method [A. Torii et al., CVPR 2013] 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 original version was released in 2013. The software is available at http://www.di.ens.fr/willow/research/repttile/download/repttile_demo_ver03.zip .
