A New Benchmark for Large-Scale Aerial-Ground Image-to-Point cloud localization: AGI2P
Accurate visual localization in dense urban environments constitutes a fundamental task in photogrammetry, geospatial information science, and robotics. While imagery is a low-cost and widely accessible sensing modality, its effectiveness on visual odometry is often limited by textureless surfaces, severe viewpoint changes, and long-term drift. The growing public availability of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data opens new avenues for scalable and precise visual localization by leveraging ALS as a prior map.
