In Section 3, the dataset and data acquisition process are described. Section 4 outlines the six-step process of PIGEON, the proposed approach. Section 5 presents the results, including distance-based metrics and other metrics for the augmented dataset
Methods using Street View images have shown potential in inferring factors such as income, race, education, and voting patterns. Previous work often combined Street View images with landmarks, indoor images, or aerial images. Geolocalizing objects within images and considering
The authors of the document propose a method for predicting image geolocations using deep learning. They use planet-scale open-source administrative data to design semantic geocells, which are influenced by factors such as road markings, infrastructure quality, and natural boundaries.
Label Smoothing: Discretizing image geolocalization creates a trade-off between geocell granularity and predictive accuracy. We address this by devising a loss function that penalizes based on the distance between predicted and correct geocells. Sm
The study explores the use of deep learning to predict image geolocations. The model utilizes different task categories, such as location, climate, compass direction, season, and traffic, to train the model on relevant features correlated with geolocation. The authors
In this study, the authors conducted an ablation study to evaluate the impact of various methodological contributions on geolocalization accuracy. They found that label smoothing, four-image panorama, multi-task parameter sharing, semantic geocells, and CLIP
