Just Zoom In: Cross-View Geo-Localization via Autoregressive Zooming

ArXi:2603.25686v1 Announce Type: cross Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) estimates a camera's location by matching a street-view image to geo-referenced overhead imagery, enabling GPS-denied localization and navigation. Existing methods almost universally formulate CVGL as an image-retrieval problem in a contrastively trained embedding space. This ties performance to large batches and hard negative mining, and it ignores both the geometric structure of maps and the coverage mismatch between street-view and overhead imagery.
