abstract = {We describe an efficient image-based localization system which can be used for real-time, continuous semantic localization within a known environment. Our system can precisely localize a camera in real-time from a video stream within a fairly large scene that has been reconstructed offline using structure from motion (SfM). This is achieved by interleaving a fast keypoint tracker that uses BRIEF descriptors, with a direct 2D-to-3D matching approach for recognizing 3D points in the map. Our approach does not require the construction of an explicit semantic map. Rather semantic information can be associated with the 3D points in the SfM reconstruction and can be retrieved via recognition during online localization.},
